Ken Cleary

On this episode we are joined by Ken Cleary, an angiosarcoma survivor and amputee. Ken describes the journey to diagnosis, how he made the decision to go forward with an amputation as his frontline treatment, and how he has adapted to life afterward. Ken’s reflections on his experience are honest and inspiring - his perspective both grounding and motivating. Of the many topics we discuss, we talk at length about the trust Ken put in his care team while making extremely difficult decisions, and how they have helped him through more than just his treatment. His team made such a profound impact that Ken nominated his nurse, Colleen Forbes, to receive SFA’s 2026 Compassionate Care Award, which she will be honored with at the 2026 Stand Up to Sarcoma Gala in October. We invite you to listen to Ken’s remarkable story, and if you are interested in honoring those who are making strides for the sarcoma community, we invite you to attend the Gala this October as well! With that, let’s hear from Ken!
