In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Ann Graham, who will be sharing her incredible journey with us. Ann’s battle with cancer began with persistent leg pain during her marathon training in January 2010. What followed was a series of misdiagnoses, as doctors initially dismissed her symptoms as unrelated conditions.
<br>
But Ann’s persistence paid off when she insisted on getting an MRI, which revealed a tumor at the top of her tibia. However, the alarming news didn’t stop there. Astonishingly, Ann’s doctor failed to discuss her diagnosis further, leaving her in a void of information and uncertainty.
<br>
Unwilling to accept this lack of guidance, Ann and her husband took matters into their own hands and sought a second opinion from a specialist. This decision changed the course of Ann’s journey. The specialist not only confirmed the cancer diagnosis but also recommended a comprehensive treatment plan that provided Ann with much-needed direction and support.

Through her story, Ann showcases the importance of advocating for yourself and seeking multiple opinions when navigating a cancer diagnosis. Her strength and determination remind us that with the right information and support, we can overcome even the most challenging obstacles.
