Big Announcement - We're Expanding Our Reach

For over three years The Colon Cancer Podcast has shared stories of information, inspiration and hope of those touched by colorectal cancer; your stories, your family members' stories, your friends' stories, your doctors' stories.
 
As I've reflected back on all of these incredible interviews I realized that the whole world can be inspired by these stories. The messages contained within these deep, and often emotional conversations, can touch more people, not just those within our colorectal cancer community. And this is why I'm incredibly excited to share this major announcement with you.
 
Each year, more than 12 MILLION people will hear the same three DEVASTATING words: “YOU. Have. Cancer.”
 
As many of you know, I myself am a survivor of pediatric kidney cancer and Stage IV colon cancer.
 
My AMAZING wife Linda has taught me that *WE* have cancer, because every one of us is affected by it in some way -- survivors, family, friends, and medical and support team members...
 
And we ALL have a story worth telling.
 
And this is why The Colon Cancer Podcast is transforming to a new name, while sharing the same inspiring stories. Welcome to 
 
WE Have Cancer
 
As a Stage IV colon cancer patient I will continue to focus on the colorectal cancer community; however, if I come across an inspiring story of a breast cancer patient or a childhood cancer survivor I want to give them an opportunity to share their stories as well. You see, there are no other regularly produced podcast available today that share these stories with the world.
 
WE Have Cancer will debut on May 8th, when, for the very first time, I interview my wife Linda. 
 
Like before, the podcast will be available on iTunes, the Stitcher app, Spotify, Google Play and on our new website wehavecancershow.com. All of the previous episodes will continue to be available.
 
The success of The Colon Cancer Podcast happened because of you. You supported the show, shared the episodes with the community and even recommended guests for me to interview. Thank you for believing in me then and thank you in advance for joining me on this exciting new journey.

Lee & Linda Silverstein

In 2011, just four months after they began dating, Lee was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer. A year and a half later, 17 days after their honeymoon, they learned that Lee’s cancer had spread to his liver; he was now Stage 4. Through numerous surgeries, chemotherapy infusions and assorted other treatments, Linda has been by his side. Despite cancer, Lee and Linda say unequivocally these have been the best years of their lives.

In 2015 Lee launched this podcast as a way to provide information, inspiration and hope to those affected by cancer.

Lee and Linda live in Florida with their Westie Terrier, Fergie.
