Fifty Percent Cancer with Chloe
2020 is my eleventh year of fighting metastatic papillary thyroid cancer–I have had thyroid cancer nearly half of my life. Through this podcast, I want to be able to give other thyroid cancer survivors and fighters some comfort knowing they are not alone. Fifty percent cancer is scars AND smiles; the good, bad and the ugly. I'm here to help inform everyone about thyroid cancer, as well as share the amazing things thyroid cancer survivors and fighters are up to.

Others might think because thyroid cancer is highly curable, it’s a better cancer than others and doesn’t warrant the same amount of care or attention. Cancer is cancer, and we all deserve care and attention. Because of this false stereotype and narrative surrounding thyroid cancer, us, as thyroid cancer survivors and fighters, might have to step up our self-advocacy game to ensure we are getting the treatment we need and are being taken seriously.
