Hope is present in all situations. It may not look the way we want it to, but it’s still there and ours for the taking.

This healing presentation helps people find hope in the midst of the deepest despair.

“True human connection is found in the darkest sorrows, and the brightest rainbows are revealed on the other side,” says Caroline, and her riveting personal journey proves her point.

“Healing oneself is impossible if we don’t have hope,” she adds. Because without it, what the hell is the point?”

Caroline Rose has survived against all the odds. She has lived the fear of the diagnosis and understands the emotional impact cancer has on the lives of both the patient and the caregiver.

The audience will leave with specific tips and strategies for dealing with the impact of the diagnosis, tried and true methods to deal with the side-effects of the treatments, tips for caregivers, and suggestions for entering life after cancer. 

Life After Cancer

Beating cancer is only half the battle. Life after cancer can be just as scary and lonely as the treatment itself.

Caroline can relate to this challenging state in a survivor’s life and offers encouragement and hope to those who need it the most.

We all want to be our best selves for our children, but at the same time, we have our personal struggles.

How do we parent through the difficulties life brings our way?

Caroline offers up wisdom and hard-earned life lessons for helping ourselves so that we can show up for others.

Caroline Rose understands what it means to live in pain. She also knows what it means to rise above it, and she attributes her three-time cancer survival to the incredible healing power of community and love.

Through the courageous telling of her story, Caroline invites her audience to consider their own struggles as an opportunity for connection and reveals how we, as a group, can better come together to lift each other up from the darkness and into the light.

Are you overwhelmed by the challenges and obstacles you’re facing? Caroline Rose understands all too well how tempting it can be to give up when life’s burdens feel too heavy to carry.

This three-time cancer survivor recounts one moment in particular when she told the nurse to take all the medications away because she was done and ready to leave this earth.

And yet, somehow she found the inner strength to hang on through endless pain and suffering.

Caroline’s brave retelling of her personal experience will motivate and inspire your audience as they relate to the sometimes seemingly impossible challenges we must face and overcome.

Caroline Rose is a remarkable individual, a beacon of resilience who has faced life’s most daunting challenges with unwavering strength and determination. At the young age of 27, Caroline, a pre-med student at USC, received the devastating diagnosis of Stage IV, highly aggressive, incurable non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This news came at a time when she was at the pinnacle of her physical fitness, having just completed her seventh marathon and training for the ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Faced with the harsh reality of her illness, Caroline grappled with the profound uncertainty of living with a potentially terminal condition. However, she refused to succumb to despair, embarking on a journey of resilience that would see her triumph over cancer not once, but three times.

Following her second battle with cancer, she and her husband welcomed their daughter via IVF, and subsequently, experienced the joy of a miraculous natural pregnancy, blessing them with a son. However, Caroline Rose’s indomitable spirit was put to the test once more when, with her daughter at the tender age of two and her son only five weeks old, she discovered the ominous signs of her cancer’s return for the third time.
