Chris discusses treatment planning and how his dog Pickle helped him

Stephanie chats with Chris about treatment options and the mental and physical impact of a metastatic bowel cancer diagnosis.

Diagnosed with stage IV bowel cancer at the age of 41 Chris discusses his feelings of being diagnosed with the same disease his father passed away from, the importance of remaining positive, and how he navigated a bowel cancer diagnosis with lung metastases. 

Passionate about helping other young men, Chris talks honestly about the importance of connection, education and how his dog Pickle has helped him through the difficult moments.
