November 11, 2022 Pulse Infoframe Season 1 Episode 6

A positive mindset is one of the keys to living a happy life. But maintaining optimism in the face of adversity is much easier said than done. Especially when that adversity comes in the form of a rare medical condition diagnosis. However, our guest Dan “Dry Dock” Shockley is here to show you how he stayed positive throughout his battle with colorectal cancer. Dan received his diagnosis following a colonoscopy shortly after his 50th birthday after retiring from a long career in the Navy. Dan immediately shifted his focus to advocating for the colorectal cancer community and became a live case study to help educate both healthcare professionals and medical students. Join Joshua and Dan as they discuss his battle with cancer, how his career in the navy impacted how he approaches his advocacy work and how to always forge ahead with a purpose.
