The Fight We Didn’t Choose is an honest and deeply personal podcast about facing a battle no family ever expects to fight.

Hosted by Ryan and Beth Mulvey, the podcast tells the story of Ryan’s journey with brain cancer—not only through the eyes of the person fighting the disease, but also through the perspective of the wife and family fighting alongside him.

Together, Ryan and Beth share the moments that changed everything: the diagnosis, treatments, difficult conversations, unexpected victories, fear, laughter, family life, and the reality of trying to keep living when life suddenly looks very different.

This isn’t just a podcast about cancer. It’s about marriage, family, love, resilience, hope, and making the most of the time we’re given.

Some episodes will be difficult. Some will be emotional. Some will make you laugh. But every conversation will be real.

Whether you’re battling cancer yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply need a reminder of what truly matters, we hope our story makes you feel a little less alone.

We didn’t choose this fight—but we choose how we fight it.

    Brain Cancer Diagnosis: What Comes Next? | The Fight We Didn't Choose S1E2
    17 Aug 2026
    In Episode 2 of The Fight We Didn't Choose, Ryan and Beth Mulvey continue sharing their real-life journey through a Grade 3 astrocytoma brain cancer diagnosis — from the agonizing wait for pathology results to radiation, chemotherapy, recurrence, prognosis, caregiving, family, faith, and learning how to live with uncertainty.

    After brain surgery, Ryan and Beth were left waiting for answers. Was the tumor benign or cancerous? What would treatment look like? What did the diagnosis mean for their future?

    Ryan and Beth talk openly about receiving the Grade 3 astrocytoma diagnosis, the differences they learned about brain tumors, and Ryan's experiences with photon radiation, proton radiation and Temodar chemotherapy. They also discuss the physical toll of treatment, the fear surrounding prognosis and recurrence, and the realities that patients and caregivers face after a life-changing cancer diagnosis.

    But this episode goes deeper than treatment.

    Ryan shares the thoughts that entered his mind after being diagnosed: Will I see my children graduate? Will I get to walk my daughter down the aisle? How much time do we have?

    Beth shares the caregiver's perspective — protecting the person you love, carrying information and fears they may not always see, and watching life's ordinary moments differently after cancer enters your family.

    Through it all, Ryan explains the mindset that has helped carry him through this fight: stay positive, lean on your support system, trust in God, and live in the moment.

    The Fight We Didn't Choose is about more than brain cancer. It's about marriage, caregiving, family, faith, fear, hope, resilience and what happens when life changes without warning.

    If you or someone you love is facing brain cancer, astrocytoma, glioma, a brain tumor or another serious cancer diagnosis, we hope sharing our story helps you feel a little less alone.

    14 Aug 2026
    The Fight We Didn’t Choose is an honest, unfiltered podcast about what happens when brain cancer changes everything.

    Husband and wife Ryan and Beth share their journey from two very different perspectives—the patient fighting brain cancer and the spouse who suddenly becomes a caregiver.

    Together, they talk openly about the first signs something was wrong, hearing the words “brain cancer,” brain surgery, treatment, MRIs and scan anxiety, raising children through cancer, marriage under pressure, fear, mortality, friendship, faith, humor, hope, and learning to live when the future is uncertain.

    This isn't only a podcast about cancer. It's about marriage, family, caregiving, resilience, laughter, fear, love, and finding meaning in a fight you never asked for.

    Some episodes will be difficult. Some will be funny. All of them will be real.Whether you're battling brain cancer, caring for someone you love, supporting a family member with cancer, or trying to understand what life with a serious diagnosis is really like, you're welcome here.
