I sit down with Alison Rosen, colon cancer survivor and lead on Project Echo for the American Cancer Society. We talk about young adult survivorship, cancer advocacy and of course Lynch Syndrome. While Alison was 32 at diagnosis, she (so far) has tested negative for anything genetic, which was surprising given the family history of cancer. Apparently we were on a podcast together in 2012 or so (someone look it up) so Alison looked me when it was time to potentially get an ostomy. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) bringing subject matter experts with participants from many walks. All teach all learn is the motto. Successes and failures, tools, and more. Allison is co-chairing the Art and Science of Hope panel at ASCO.
