Want to know what some of the symptoms of stage 3 colorectal cancer look like? Looking for some tips on how to navigate your diagnosis from someone that's been there? Join me as I talk with Cormeshia, a stage 3 rectal cancer survivor that was diagnosed just before COVID-19 hit in the United States. Learn about how her treatment plan was a little different from mine and her latest project to try and get more BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) colorectal cancer patient stories represented on social media.
