Sofie Bengtling is a resilient individual from Staffanstorp, Sweden, who has become an advocate for awareness about rectal cancer after her own diagnosis. After experiencing unusual symptoms, she was fortunate to discover her tumor during a routine medical check-up for another issue. Her journey through diagnosis, surgery, and ongoing treatment has not only deepened her appreciation for life and her family but also sparked her desire to raise awareness about colorectal cancer, which is often overlooked and stigmatized. Sofie has proposed a campaign to increase knowledge about this serious condition, aiming to eliminate the stigma surrounding it.
