When treatment ends, families might expect life to return to normal. But, while treatment may have an end date, the late effects of serious illness are less defined. This means life does not always go back to what it was before treatment started.

In this episode, host Mark Brown and expert Jeanette Lavecchia talk with parent Carla Wyatt about the late effects of her son Brett’s treatment.

Carla shares her family’s story, highlighting Brett’s joy and humor through the late effects that have changed their daily lives. Jeanette offers insights from her years of helping families navigate new diagnoses and life after treatment. Mark emphasizes the importance of community and finding joy and grace.

A special thank you to our host, Mark Brown, director of Spiritual Care at St. Jude; our expert Jeanette Lavecchia, social work manager at St. Jude; and our parent guest, Carla Wyatt.
