In this episode of My First Foot Beat, Sgt. Tech. Natasha Rowles sits down with her long-time friend and Law Enforcement Instructor Christina Werries. Their friendship goes back more than 20 years and, like all good friendships, they have numerous memories and many experiences together, including an unthinkable life-changing event: Christina’s stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Christina discusses how her diagnosis has changed her life, the steps she has taken to recover, her support networks and treatment, including how she is involved in two studies to better provide care for other women with this diagnosis.
