S2Ep2 Home Is Where the Healthcare Is (Sometimes)

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.

*** If you are in the United States, please join me in continuing to advocate for fully funded and staffed cancer and medical research, from the NIH, NCI, FDA, CDC, to local, regional, and national cancer centers.

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