They are her motivation, her safe place and the people who remind her that MS doesn’t define who she is.Kate takes us through the reality of living with MS — from her ongoing DMT treatment every six months and the uncertainty that comes with the disease, to one of her biggest daily challenges: **chronic fatigue**. We talk about the things people may not see from the outside and the frustration of having a body that sometimes simply refuses to cooperate.But this isn't a story about limitations.Kate shares her love of travel, including a recent family adventure to Japan, and her aspirations to see more of the world with her family. We also explore her journey with running and what it means to pursue something physically demanding while living with MS.There are challenges, there are difficult days, and there are plenty of unknowns. But there is also laughter, determination, family, adventure and an undeniable desire to keep moving forward.**“No Cure Yet”** is a conversation about living with uncertainty without allowing uncertainty to stop you from living.A story of motherhood, marriage, resilience, running, travel and the simple determination to make the most of the life you have.Because sometimes living a better life isn't about waiting for the perfect circumstances.**It's about getting out there and living it anyway.**🎙️ **LUID State Of Mind — No Cure Yet with Kate Cusmano**

   Episode #62 Temporarily Grounded

   TEMPORARILY GROUNDED — Andrew McDougallFrom growing up in Sydney with proud Scottish heritage to taking to the skies as a helicopter pilot, Andrew McDougall’s life has always been about moving forward.Raised by Scottish parents, with a police officer father, Andrew’s family eventually made the move to Kiama, from Sydney. Straight out of school, he joined the Royal Australian Air Force, beginning a career that would ultimately lead him to the Army and into the cockpit as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot.But recently, Andrew faced a very different kind of battle.Diagnosed with thyroid/lymph node cancer, he endured two major surgeries and confronted the frightening possibility that treatment could permanently affect—or even take away—his voice.For a man accustomed to discipline, responsibility and being in control, cancer forced him to face something he couldn't simply train for or fly around.Temporarily Grounded is Andrew’s story of service, family, fear, resilience and perspective. We talk about his Scottish roots, life in the military, becoming a helicopter pilot, fatherhood, the reality of a cancer diagnosis and what happens when life suddenly forces you to stop.Today, Andrew is cancer free and making the most of the life in front of him.Sometimes being grounded doesn't mean the journey is over.It just means you're preparing to fly again.
