  • S2E5 | An unassailable hope
    2025/04/22
    The first time Corbin was treated for cancer at St. Jude, he was a precocious 3-year-old who loved to ride tricycles around the halls. The last time Corbin was treated for cancer at St. Jude, he was a magnetic 18-year-old who loved to play guitar and had big plans to fight for justice in the courtroom, even as he neared the end of his life.

    Corbin had a genetic predisposition to develop cancer. In all, he was diagnosed with four different types of cancer over the years, and treatment options became increasingly complex. Corbin’s mom Heather says each diagnosis was a shock. But each time they returned to St. Jude, they felt hopeful, knowing his doctors would do all they could.

    “I miss him terribly, and it creeps up on me and hits me sometimes” Heather says. But she remembers the way he’d make her laugh, the way he sat with young patients at St. Jude while they played video games, the way he refused to fall into bitterness, the way he never gave up on living. “I need to do that too,” Heather says. “I need to move forward because that's what he would want me to do.”

    Please note this episode contains a few instances of mild swear words. St. Jude Storied Lives explores the experiences of patients and their families, letting you get to know the person and not just the diagnosis. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital understands that every family’s journey through treatment is unique. Listeners who have questions about their situation, diagnosis or treatment options should talk to their physician. These personal stories are not intended to provide medical advice.

  • S2E4 | Caring for others as she was cared for
    2025/04/09
    Angelique was an ambitious kid. She was curious about the world and driven to succeed. When she was a teenager, Angelique was diagnosed with leukemia and treated at St. Jude. Her time there forced her to slow down, but her care team planted the seed for a new ambition: nursing.

    Eventually Angelique became an oncology nurse. With each patient, she remembered the empathy of the nurses at St. Jude, and let their lessons guide her. “I walked them through everything, taught them what their meds were, to take a lot of the fear out of it,” she says.

    Angelique has lived and worked all over the country, but she returned to her native Memphis a few years ago. She’s devoted to her family and calls herself an “undercover helicopter mom” to two “miracle babies.”

  • S2E3 | Giving back, buoyed by a lifetime of support
    2025/04/04
    Holly had a storybook childhood. She lived in a small town and spent her days running around the neighborhood with friends and playing sports. But when she was 12, a nagging pain appeared in her leg. After visits to several doctors, she got an unthinkable diagnosis: cancer. Holly thought that was the end for her. Then she arrived at St. Jude — and felt hopeful.

    “That first time, they just came right up to us, gathered us, took us in,” Holly says. “Everybody's happy, which makes you, as a patient and a family, feel so much more comfortable being there.” She got to know her nurses and fellow patients — people who understood what she was going through.

    Holly also stayed closely connected to her community, shuttling back and forth between home and St. Jude for treatment. And her community stepped up to support her. After her treatment, she grew up and began giving back. “We’re all going through different things,” she says. “In this big, scary world, we all need a little grace and kindness.”
