A Bump in the Road
At just eighteen years old, Author Michael Caprio was diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, a rare genetic form of colorectal cancer that accounts for only 0.5 percent of all colorectal cancer cases in the United States. After enduring two life-saving operations Michael has since made a full recovery and has become an author, advocate, leader, change maker, and podcast guest in the spaces of mental health and colorectal cancer.
​
Michael's mission when writing his memoir was to bring awareness to his rare condition, colorectal cancers in general & mental health issues as well since a large part of his recovery was mental, as much as it was physical.
