39 Years Old with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer: Helen’s Story

This is a very special episode.

Today, Hayley sits beside her beautiful sister-in-law, Helen, who is living with Stage 4 bowel cancer.

In this incredibly open conversation, we talk about treatment, fear, hope, and the reality of being diagnosed with a terminal illness at 39 years old.

This episode is about cancer, but it’s also about love, family, resilience, hope, listening to your body and making the absolute most of the chapters you have in front of you.
