Steve Galvin/LexisNexis

This month’s guest is Steve Galvin and he joins his older brother, Mark Galvin, to talk about his three-year fight with pancreatic cancer. Steve is a sales executive with LexisNexis, but this episode focuses on his ongoing fight against cancer.

Steve’s story is rather incredible. From losing 115 pounds, to the mental anguish caused by chemotherapy, this is a story that shares how difficult it is to fight cancer and the toll on loved ones.

This is a departure from the social media conversation Mark normally focuses on, but we all need to hear this story since we all deal with cancer, either through a friend, loved ones, or personally.
