Colleen is a 3-year retiree and a two-time breast cancer survivor. Living in rural Virginia with her four animals and husband, Bill Collins, of almost 48 years (who gets credit for being her rock through it all), Colleen recommends that you be there for your loved ones on cancer journeys. Saying "I'm here if you need anything" may not be enough, take a more active approach like grabbing ice cream with a group of friends. In this episode, we discuss the financial burden of cancer care, the inspiration behind the podcast, unique gratitude of cancer patients, changes in cancer care over the years, and a shop called "Flourish Boutique" at UVA Cancer Center for caner patients to find wigs, bras, and other supportive items!
