Dying Laughing Podcast
“The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.” The first response to a life-changing medical diagnosis is much the same. Not for us! After a chance meeting over hospital food, bad guitar riffs, and chemo drips, two guys, from very different backgrounds, with very different stories, realized 3 crucial things: 1. our voices matter 2. there’s plenty to talk about 3. we’re frickin' hilarious! We all know that cancer sucks. And those in “the know” can tell you that it doesn’t really matter whether it’s curable or chronic. It always sucks! So here we are… either living with it, or with its ghosts. But somewhere along the way, we discovered that if we can’t laugh at ourselves, what’s the point of it all? There’s a lot of material to be had here! Dying Laughing is rooted in finding the humor in our moments. There’s a time to be PC and respectful when discussing our diseases... and there’s a time to get real about all the extra “stuff” that comes with them. We’re here to bring it all together. BONUS! Our conversations are not reserved only for those who’ve been dealt the cancer hand. We embrace all the embarrassing, absurd, and hysterical chronicles of health-related events. Stop by and check out what the ‘Key & Peele of chronic disease’ are talking about next! Click, like, and share @dyinglaughingpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Or email us at dyinglaughingpodcast@gmail.com. Don’t be shy! Slide right into our DM's. Tell us what you think, what you’d like to hear more of, and definitely let us know if you have a story to share. We’re dying to laugh with you too!

S2:E3 - Mental Health
Getting diagnosed with cancer has a profound effect on your mental health, and that part of treatment does not seem to have the same emphasis as the physical side of the equation. That makes sense, you have to stay alive to work on your mental health, but like most things the mental/physical health equation isn't an either/or but a both/and.
Please remember that we are NOT in any way, shape or form medical professionals, and this is really just our experiences and observations. We make no claims that how we have handled our mental health is even good way to do it, this is just the way we did. If you feel like you do need to talk to someone we cannot stress enough how important it is to speak to your doctor or mental health professional!
