Crushing Colorectal Cancer and Crisis: The Power of Politics, Depression, and Yoga

Initially, the doctors were skeptical of any issues with Jessica. A politically active, self-aware, health-conscious student of yoga, they attributed her bloody stool to a probable hemorrhoid. However, after almost a year of seeking help, 39-year-old Jessica received a shocking diagnosis: Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Over the following year, Jessica underwent chemoradiation, cancer surgery, ostomy surgery, chemotherapy, and ostomy reversal surgery while also managing her existing mental health conditions. Throughout this journey, she documented her experiences through a blog, offering insight into her battle and inspiring others to overcome their own struggles.

"Full Circle: How Politics, Depression, and Yoga Helped Me Crush Colorectal Cancer and Crisis" provides a gripping account of Jessica's fight against young-onset colorectal cancer, a disease that is becoming more common among individuals under 40. In addition, Jessica delves into the unique challenges faced by mental health patients and discusses the disparities in how cancer and depression are treated by the medical system.

This book is a tribute to colorectal cancer patients, caregivers, mental health patients, and anyone in search of motivation to conquer life's challenges.
