Kasey was navigating postpartum life when she started experiencing intense abdominal cramping and mucus in her stool. Despite countless appointments and a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s, her unexplained symptoms continued until a colonoscopy revealed the unexpected.
In this cancer vlog, Kasey shares her emotional journey from unexplained symptoms to the moment she heard the word cancer for the first time. She reflects on the overwhelming isolation, the strength she found in her family and faith, and how this journey changed her perspective on life forever.
Thank you, Kasey, for sharing your story to help others.
