  • Summary

  • What's the worst birthday present you've ever had? For New Yorker Jonny Puglia a shock diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer was not the gift he was expecting on his 30th birthday.

    Fortunately, Jonny decided not to dwell on it and decided to face it with his humor. After battling stage IV colorectal cancer for years,  beating cancer not once but twice, he has now used his experience to help adults who are also affected by cancer with his blog Thrivr.

    In this episode, we talked about:

    - Living through cancer symptoms without the benefit of insurance

    - Why mental health is just as important as chemotherapy

    - How to properly use other people's experiences to help yours

    - The importance of having someone come with you to doctor's appointments

    - Why you shouldn't shy away from asking your doctor everything you need to know
