About this episode

Sam Franklin shares his deeply personal journey of living with metastatic ocular melanoma and the importance of finding meaning in life despite cancer.

In this episode of Living in the Long-Middle, we welcome back Sam Franklin for a deeply personal conversation about life, survivorship, and what it means to truly live while facing cancer. Sam’s story reminds us that how we approach the “living” part of the long-middle matters. He reflects on the thoughts, emotions, and lessons that have shaped his journey since being diagnosed with metastatic ocular melanoma in 2019. Now, as Sam shares that his chapter as a cancer patient is nearing its end, he offers a perspective that is both honest and inspiring. While this moment has arrived sooner than he hoped, it is also far later than he ever imagined when metastatic disease was first discovered. Through vulnerability, wisdom, and grace, Sam discusses finding meaning in the time between diagnosis and uncertainty, the importance of connection, and the value of living fully in the face of difficult realities. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, family member, or healthcare professional, Sam’s story is a powerful reminder that every day matters. Thank you to our sponsors for making this possible!
