Caroline Rose is a three-time Stage IV cancer survivor. When she was initially diagnosed, she was in the best shape of her life. A pre-med student at USC, she had just run her 7th marathon and was training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when she found out she had Stage IV, highly aggressive, incurable non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was 27 years old.
“Since this cancer didn’t have a cure, I struggled with knowing how to live while waiting to possibly die,” Caroline recalls. And yet, she didn’t give up. In fact, Caroline didn’t defeat cancer once – she beat it three times!
Caroline Rose’s inspiring talk brings help and hope to anyone dealing with cancer or with any life challenge that feels like too much to bear. Through her amazing story, you’ll learn how she found the inner strength to never give up, to survive against all odds – and how you can tap that same power in yourself.
After her second bout with cancer, Caroline and her husband had their daughter via IVF; then a miracle pregnancy gave them their son.
Then one day, when her daughter was two and her son five weeks old, a look in the mirror shockingly revealed the raised lymph nodes that told Caroline all she needed to know: Her cancer was back for the third time. That, Caroline Rose says, is when her real battle began, only this time, she had two young children. The game had changed. “That third time, cancer picked the wrong opponent,” she says, “because it was NOT going to take me away from my children.”
Caroline’s favorite part of speaking is when audience members approach her afterward and tell her that because of her story and her courage, they are given hope. “Because if we don’t have hope,” she asks, “what the hell is the point?”

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.
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.

Persevering through Life’s Challenges
