Brain Tumors Suck

Shownotes: 

Samia Masood joins us today to talk about her harrowing experience through her son's illness and how she survived it. Life pre diagnosis and post diagnosis is a real thing and very delineated in a mom’s mind and heart for life and we work out some trauma together. Her ordeal didn't end after her son’s initial fight was over, but the hot coals propelled her to do MORE--not just for her family, but for her community as well. Find out how. Check it out at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Alexa, Audible, Roku, Amazon Music or iHeartRadio.

Note: In the soapbox, Uzma definitely meant to say CAIR-FL “condemns” not “condones.
