You don't want to miss this one if you or anyone you know has been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer. Pauline was young at her diagnosis so much before the regular screening exams start. She shares with us her symptoms leading up to her diagnosis as well as her experience with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation and how that affected her and her family. She is so open in sharing her story with us all as she is making this her mission in life now to help others know the signs and symptoms so it could be caught much earlier. Finding cancer early on can be the difference in harsher treatments and a better prognosis. Take the time to listen to this one. Her story is powerful and filled with so many good nuggets of advice that we can all benefit from.
