Andrew and Ashley chat about dealings in Lansing and Washington DC reviewing actions on:

• Oral Chemotherapy Fairness Legislation

• Increased funding for Cancer Research.

Could tobacco products be coming directly to your doorstep? We chat about Michigan Senate Bill 720 and what dangers it brings all Michiganders.

In our Karmanos / McLaren Moment, we chat about colorectal cancer screening with Dr. Mohammed Najeeb Al Hallak, who is in the gastrointestinal neuroendocrine oncology group on screenings you should be getting, what age those should come, and other factors that my up your screening time. 

We also have a wonderful opportunity to chat with Representative Samantha Steckloff. A freshman legislator in the Michigan House, we have an opportunity to chat about her cancer journey and how that propelled her to run for office, and how that is also shaping her agenda and goals for her time in Lansing.
