In this episode, we chat with power couple Esther and Elman about what it means to navigate brain tumour care and recovery as young adults. Esther reflects on her experience as a young adult caregiver, the challenges and barriers she faced, and the support that helped her along the way. Together, they reflect on their shared commitment to giving back to the brain tumour community and how they continue to build a life rooted in purpose, hope and resilience.
