In honor of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, I'm sharing my cancer journey to remind everyone to put your health first. Bringing awareness to colon cancer is of the utmost importance to me. As some of you may already know, I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in 2015. 

In this episode, I give you the backstory and context as to why I let my symptoms go for so long, why I was misdiagnosed, and how I ultimately was presented with the diagnosis. As a busy mom, I was very quick to self-diagnose things as my health started to deteriorate. Even though I was tired all the time and had brain fog, I figured it was just the rigors of being a mom and balancing three kids. In 2009, my stomach pains had gotten intolerable to the point I passed out in front of my children. One of the most important things I have learned through my cancer journey is, putting yourself last is not putting anybody first. Please take care of your health, schedule that doctor visit, and if you have a history of colon cancer in your family like I do, get your screening sooner. We don't come out of a battle the same person as we went in, but I'm a much better person for it, and I'm grateful.
