Lindsey Wolfram

Volunteer Mentor, Card Writer, Social Media Specialist

Lindsey was diagnosed with Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm (LAMN) and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) in May 2020, nearly seven months after first being told she had cancer. After her second CRS/HIPEC surgery, she joined PMP Pals in 2022, seeking appendix cancer–specific support she couldn’t find in Canada.  Today, she shares her knowledge of the Canadian healthcare system so others feel less alone. Living with disease hasn’t slowed her—she travels, pursues athletic adventures, works part-time, volunteers, and dog-sits. She also brings fintech expertise to PMP Pals and serves as a patient partner in Canada and the U.S.  “Stage 4 is not my finish line!”
