S2Ep2 Home Is Where the Healthcare Is (Sometimes)


Listen Later

This episode is called Home is Where the Healthcare Is (Sometimes).

In October 2024, my incredible Kristine (💙💙) had a major surgery - CRS/HIPEC. Over the last few months, she has had some temporary members added to her care team. 

In this episode, I talk about the importance of a nutritionist, home wound care nurse, and a home physical therapist.

Colorectal cancer, and all of the other cancers, needs more hope and options. Those come directly out of cancer research.
