New York Times best selling author and psychotherapist Sarah Brokaw, broke the silence about her reaction following her father’s cancer diagnose.
The daughter of NBC veteran journalist Tom Brokaw sits down with her 75-year-old father to talk about his battle with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow.
Her parents have been married for astonishing 53-years, a union that Sarah describes as “steadfast commitment, joy and passion.” She has two other sisters Jennifer and Andrea.
In the interview with her father, Sarah tells him about when she first realized in 2013 he was more sick than she thought and says “it was awful especially since [my son Archer] was only 6 months [old],”
Sarah continues “And I was mad, too. I thought, ‘You only had six months with him.’ I wanted to envision you playing baseball with him and fly fishing, and not knowing if that was ever gonna happen.”
During that 2013 incident the father-daughter duo recalled Tom had only been diagnosed four days before that incident and had shared the news only with his Sarah’s mother.
