Beyond the 5 Years

Beyond the 5 Years is a podcast featuring people living with Stage 4 cancer, with an emphasis on colorectal cancer, and the people that love them. What happens when you stop letting a prognosis define what's possible? We sit down with colorectal cancer thrivers and caregivers who have lived beyond the 5-year mark to hear real stories behind their journeys: the treatments they pursued, the decisions they made, the things that helped them along the way, and what they wish they had known sooner. We explore the many pieces of life with Stage 4 cancer - from treatment, clinical trials, nutrition and movement, to mindset, relationships, caregiving, and finding ways to keep living while navigating cancer. This isn't about promising a cure or suggesting there's one right way to navigate cancer. It's about learning from people who have been there, sharing real-world tools and perspectives, and creating a community where honest conversations and hope can coexist. Because five years doesn't have to be the finish line.
