Love, Resilience, and the Caregiver’s Journey – with Michael Holmes & Colette Marietta
In this powerful episode of Still I Rise, husband-and-wife team Michael Holmes and Colette Marietta share both sides of the cancer journey. Michael, a devoted caregiver and Chief Growth Officer at Diagnostic Imaging Services, reflects on the emotional and practical realities of supporting a loved one through countless challenges. Colette, a courageous five-time cancer survivor and one of the longest-living known survivors of the rare adenoid cystic carcinoma, opens up about her decades-long fight, from her first diagnosis at age 17 to life-changing surgeries and ongoing advocacy. Together, they explore the strength it takes to stand by each other, the importance of community through programs like You Night, and the healing power of sharing your story. Their journey is a testament to love, perseverance, and the will to rise—no matter the odds.
