Rachel Shur-A Lucky Car Accident

Rachel Shur-A Lucky Car Accident

Author: rrapaport August 3, 2024 Duration: 1:05:42
Meet Rachel Shur who was a carefree 26-year-old woman living in Ventura County California who in an instant went to suddenly someone who had to make the most profound and complex legal, moral, medical and practical decisions humanly possible. Not only did she not know the answers, often she didn't even know the questions. She talks to Ron about her life, her work with her non-Profit UCAAN and her new book "All the Things I wish I Knew When I Had Cancer".  While the topic may sound depressing, the book is as joyous and life-affirming as is Rachel herself.
