Randi Naughton pauses podcast after daughter's bile duct cancer diagnosis
Randi Naughton, who used to anchor at FOX 2 St. Louis, has paused her More to Say podcast after her 32-year-old daughter Allex Matuszek was diagnosed with a rare form of bile duct cancer.
The news came as a shock, especially since Allex had no symptoms and is much younger than most patients.
She's also a new mom, which makes this fight even more personal for the family.
Allex Matuszek receiving care at Siteman
Allex is getting care at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, with support from doctors at Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital.
Bile duct cancer usually affects people over 50, so her case is unusual.
Randi shared how proud she is of Allex's strength and said baby Crue (Allex's six-month-old son) gives her extra motivation to keep going.
The family has been touched by all the love and support from their community and is determined to get Allex the best care possible.
