In this episode of osTEAo, we focus on the sibling side of cancer and what that experience really looks like. Sammy is joined by OsteoSiblings Evan and Dr. Chris Kuo to discuss how life shifts when a brother or sister is diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The conversation goes beyond the surface and dives into the everyday realities of being a sibling to someone going through cancer treatment.
Throughout the episode, siblings share what it felt like to sit in waiting rooms, navigate school and friendships, and balance their own emotions while trying to support their family and their sibling. They talk about the quiet ways they showed up in big and small ways, simply trying to keep things feeling normal. Their stories are honest, including the complicated parts.

They also discuss the experience of losing a sibling. They speak about how that loss reshaped their lives, their relationships, and the way they see the world. The episode gives space for reflection - what grief looks like over time, how memories are carried forward, and how they continue to show up for their families even after everything has changed.
More than anything, this episode centers siblings as an important voice in the osteosarcoma journey. It’s a conversation that acknowledges their perspective, growth, and the important role they play.
