In this episode of the YMyHealth Podcast, young brain tumor survivor Mikaya Franklin shares her inspiring story of being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma to inform and bring attention to this condition that can affect people under age 50. During this Brain Tumor Awareness Month, Mikaya recounts her journey from diagnosis to recovery, the impact of her illness on her professional and social life, and the coping strategies that helped her through her challenges, including grueling physical and occupational therapy. The conversation also highlights the flaws in the healthcare system affecting young women, the importance of self-advocacy, and the misconceptions surrounding young cancer survivors. Mikaya shares her future goals and aspirations, including her desire to raise awareness about brain tumors through writing a book and to support others facing similar challenges.
