Losing a Son to Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer: A Father's Memoir and Mission for Awareness


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we share a deeply personal story about the devastating impact of early-onset colorectal cancer—and the urgent need for better screening. Our guest, Dr. George Beauregard, is an internal medicine physician and healthcare executive whose world changed forever in 2017 when his newly married 29-year-old son was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer—just a month after his wedding.

Through his son's courageous fight and advocacy, Dr. Beauregard found a renewed purpose: raising awareness about the alarming rise in early-onset cases and the need for improved screening and research. He also shares insights from his memoir, Reservations For Nine: A Doctor's Family Confronts Cancer, blending his personal and professional perspectives.

Join us as we discuss his son's lasting legacy, the emotional and medical lessons from their journey, and the fight for earlier detection. This conversation is a call to action for greater awareness, earlier intervention, and meaningful change.
