Tumor Humor: Things I Can't Control Cancer with Saranne (Part I)

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne, the founder of the ComedyCures Foundation and a Stage IV cancer survivor for over 30 years, brings a much-needed lighthearted perspective to the realities of life with cancer. Through her signature humor and wisdom, she shares a laugh-out-loud colonoscopy joke and introduces listeners to the 31-Day Tumor Humor Challenge, designed to help reframe stressful cancer experiences. Saranne also discusses an inspiring Etsy poster that lists things we simply cannot control, encouraging listeners to identify and release these burdens, thereby finding greater healing and joy. With personal anecdotes about the controversial yet deeply meaningful decisions she made throughout her cancer journey, Saranne reminds everyone that humor and self-reflection go a long way in cultivating resilience on the toughest days.

“My colonoscopy just confirmed that I’m beautiful inside and out.”
