About this listen

At just 22 years old, writer Suleika Jaouad was given a 1-in-3 chance to live after a deadly cancer diagnosis. Today, she's celebrating seven years cancer-free. In a raw and revealing conversation, Suleika shares what it is like to stare down death, and why she feels fighting for your life isn't the hardest part of the journey – it’s what happens after the fight is over. Suleika shares how she learned to anchor herself while swimming in a sea of uncertainty. Plus, her partner and Academy Award-winning musician Jon Batiste joins the interview.

Suleika is my connection to my sister Diane who also was treated for leukemia but lost her battle back in 1990 at age 23. Diane was only the 3rd patient to undergo a 2nd bone marrow transplant at Sloan Kettering. Fast forward 32 years, Suleika was able to survive and thrive after her 2nd bone marrow transplant . My sweet sister knew that her decision to try this new treatment may not help her but could help someone in the future. I struggled to know why her life was so hard ,and at the end so painful. God revealed to me through Suleika that someone like her could be given a second chance at life so she can be an example to us all to recognize the beauty of life, family, and even strangers. The love she has for life and the love she shares with John is so beautiful and a gift to us all. Thank you Hoda for inviting this wonderful couple on your show.

The power of love.
