Superpower: tenacity

How often do you reflect on all that is happening? Do you ever consider yourself from the inside-out? How do you find patience?

Last week we reconnected with Joceline, who we first met in Season 6 while she anxiously awaited hearing about when she might be able to schedule HSCT in Moscow, as she was not eligible in her home in the UK. A bit over one year ago, she was finally able to secure a visa and travel through Turkey before arriving at the AA Maximov hospital in Moscow. In last week’s episode, we learned about her experiences getting to, and during her stay in the hospital. Tune in this week to pick up where we left off last week and learn how Joceline fared during her return home, including how “out of this world difficult” the first three months home were, and how recovery has been going since she got home.
