Jolean Olson is a mother who enjoyed her time outside in the sun playing with her kids. That all ended when she discovered a large, zit-like bump on her cheek. When the bump remained several days later, Jolean met with several medical professionals. After getting numerous opinions, all saying she had skin cancer, Jolean asked for her pathology report to see the results for herself.

Jolean’s pathology report gave her clarity and a better understanding of her diagnosis. She chose a treatment plan best-suited for her, and is now living cancer free. Jolean shares her journey in a video developed by the College of American Pathologists.
