Karen Woomer was a corporate executive who stepped back from her career to focus on her family, but it wasn’t until she was hit with a major illness that she found her true purpose in life. Karen put off a routine colonoscopy because of the pandemic. When she finally had the test, she was diagnosed with late stage three colorectal cancer. The treatment was brutal, sending her to the hospital wondering if she would even make it. Her family and her friends rallied around her. When she came out on the other side, she vowed to not only spread awareness about colorectal cancer screening, but to get more involved in helping others in her community. Karen’s journey from cancer to healing will truly inspire you.
