244. Diana Salcido - Dismissed to Diagnosed: Stage 3C Colon Cancer, A Journey of Integrative Healing
About this episode
Diana Salcido shares her journey from being dismissed by doctors to being diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer and her path to integrative healing.
In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Diana Salcido to share her deeply personal story of being diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer after nearly a year of symptoms, medical dismissal, panic, abdominal pain, and an inner knowing that something was wrong. Diana walks listeners through the frightening path to diagnosis, including ER visits, being told she was simply anxious or constipated, an eventual bowel obstruction, emergency surgery, and the discovery that the cancer had spread to four lymph nodes.
