20 + year Stem Cell Transplant Veteran, Police Officer, Mom, & My Stem Cell Mentor Tennille!!

Tennille had struggled from the time she was born off and on with unexplained illness, and no one could figure out what was going on. She was ultimately diagnosed with a rare condition called Aplastic Anemia in March 1998 at the age of 21 years old.  Tennille had an Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (full sibling donor 100% match) on January 29, 2002 when she was 25 years old. She was a warrior then, and she is a warrior now! Her story is one that has many twists and turns along they way, but her faith and strength moved her through a very difficult process in a season of her life where she literally didn't know if she would live or die. This podcast will challenge and inspire you.  She is a 20+ year stem cell transplant veteran, a mom to her amazing daughter Lexi, a police officer, and she has an incredible impact in every area of her life! We are so excited to have her on the Freak Cast!! We have known each other for over 20 years, and it's a powerful conversation!

The Day I Met Ryan in the Infusion Room! Another Gratitude Filled Freak, that's battling Colorectal Cancer!

When you battle cancer of any kind, you will most likely end up in the infusion room of some Cancer Treatment Center quite a bit. I was in for my 23rd treatment in January of 2024, and I met my new friend Ryan! But, how we met is what is interesting.  I noticed Ryan when he came in because he had a shirt with the word "FREAK" on it. Obviously that word is special to me, I mean it's in the name of my podcast! But, it wasn't just the shirt, when Ryan walked into the infusion room the atmosphere lit up! Yes, he was there to get treatment, but you could tell immediately he was there to battle!  Ryan has an incredible story of love, family, hope, strength, & faith! Listen in and you will be inspired as he shares his story about being diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer, and how he is LIVING life daily to win this battle!

Stage 4 Colon Cancer Motivated Kelly Gaudreau to Share His Faith, Hope, & Bags of Love!

I hope you will tune into Episode 14 of The Freak Cast!  We are excited to have our 14th guest, & new friend, Kelly Gaudreau.  Kelly was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in September of 2021. He has had right at 40 treatments to date. His passion to share his faith, live life to the fullest, & help others will inspire & challenge anyone!  Kelly was given a bag filled with items that someone knew he would need as he began his treatments to battle this cancer. It made such an impact on his life, that he wanted to do the same for others. You will be amazed at how that one bag has translated into hundreds of other bags given to other people battling cancer too! No matter what you are facing, you will love hearing Kelly's story, and I believe you will see that life is precious and short. What you believe, who you spend your time with, and how you approach life mentally makes a big difference in all of our lives.  Follow Steven Carroll on Instagram, TikTok, and X @stevencarroll77  Subscribe for Blog Posts & Future FreakCast Updates at  www.fightlikeafreak.com  Support us https://gofund.me/c1a878c7 Venmo @steven-carroll-10 CashApp$stevencarroll77
