Little Pink Houses

There is nothing uplifting about cancer, but there is something incredible in the way some people respond to it.

In this episode, you'll meet Jeanine Patten-Coble, a 39-year-old wife and mother who goes to bed normally one night but discovers cancer when she wakes up the next morning. She's blindsided by the diagnosis — as most women are. More than 80 percent of breast cancer patients have no family history of the condition.

Like all cancer patients, Jeanine faces a tough road ahead. But she and her family make a decision — and then an incredible discovery — that helps her not only survive but build something incredible: Little Pink Houses of Hope. It's an organization that's helped hundreds of other families find strength in their own cancer battle through a unique approach to coping.

Along the way, you'll get to know Kristina Cooke, a "kick*ss cancer survivor" who's been beating the odds for 7 years and counting. You'll also hear what it's like to spend a week surrounded by cancer patients and their families — which will defy your every expectation.

"People think that when you go away on a trip with a bunch of cancer patients that you all sit around a bonfire and sing kumbaya and cry all the time," Katrina says. "That's completely opposite from what it actually is. It is fun. It's liberating and it's fun."

Get ready for a getaway that's about much more than just crystal blue oceans and white sandy beaches. It's about strength, courage, joy and hope.
