Two Time Cancer Survivor: Morgan Aquino's Journey of Perseverance and Faith

This week, The Cancer Project Podcast is joined by two-time cancer survivor Morgan Aquino.In the fall of 2024, Morgan’s husband insisted she go to the hospital after she began experiencing severe abdominal pain.Doctors quickly discovered a ruptured ovarian cyst and, during the evaluation, found a mass on her kidney. As a wife and mother of two, Morgan shares her mindset as she navigated an unexpected cancer diagnosis. Because the mass was caught early, she underwent surgery two months later to remove it and was declared cancer-free.Just ten months later, after returning home from a girls’ trip, Morgan discovered an unusual lump in her breast. With the encouragement and support of her husband and friends, she immediately sought medical attention. Within 36 hours, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and preparing for a second battle with cancer only 13 months after her kidney cancer diagnosis.In this powerful episode about perseverance, faith, and community, Morgan reflects on the village that carried her through both diagnoses. Joined in the studio by one of her closest friends, she shares how family, friendship, and faith became a source of strength during some of the most difficult moments of her journey.
