Christine Bronstein

Christine Bronstein had fatigue for many years. Doctors told her it was her hormones, her work schedule, having children or a scientifically undiagnosable syndrome. It turns out it was cancer. She had to advocate for a colonoscopy after seeing blood in her stool one time. Her GP at the time told her she was healthy and didn't have cancer. When she was eventually diagnosed with stage-III colorectal cancer, she used advocacy to help her cope with the fear and difficult emotions. Her story was picked up by many online publications and she went on the Tamron Hall show during her chemotherapy treatment to help raise awareness for early-onset colorectal cancer. She has since left publishing and business consulting and started coaching recently diagnosed individuals through the cancer journey.
