Fifty Percent Cancer with Chloe

Chloe McElmury

2020 is my eleventh year of fighting metastatic papillary thyroid cancer–I have had thyroid cancer nearly half of my life. Through this podcast, I want to be able to give other thyroid cancer survivors and fighters some comfort knowing they are not alone. Fifty percent cancer is scars AND smiles; the good, bad and the ugly. I'm here to help inform everyone about thyroid cancer, as well as share the amazing things thyroid cancer survivors and fighters are up to.
