Katie Coleman, a software engineer, joins the show to share her inspiring story of being diagnosed with a rare stage 4 kidney cancer at the end of 2020 and her journey through survivorship to the present day. Katie highlights the anxiety and guilt she experienced when moving through urgent care and the ER during the height of the pandemic, the struggles of not having family allowed in the room during her visits with oncologists or visits at home, the occurrences that led to eventual surgical removal, and what led to the decision to share her story on social media. Katie also built herself an app to keep track of her own medical records and made a career change to further build software to help other patients.
