## Resource

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne, the founder of the ComedyCures Foundation and a Stage IV cancer survivor for over 30 years, brings a much-needed lighthearted perspective to the realities of life with cancer. Through her signature humor and wisdom, she shares a laugh-out-loud colonoscopy joke and introduces listeners to the 31-Day Tumor Humor Challenge, designed to help reframe stressful cancer experiences. Saranne also discusses an inspiring Etsy poster that lists things we simply cannot control, encouraging listeners to identify and release these burdens, thereby finding greater healing and joy. With personal anecdotes about the controversial yet deeply meaningful decisions she made throughout her cancer journey, Saranne reminds everyone that humor and self-reflection go a long way in cultivating resilience on the toughest days. “My colonoscopy just confirmed that I’m beautiful inside and out.” ~Saranne 2025 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.
