On May 1 my GI doc discovered a tumor and some polyps in my colon via colonoscopy. As you can imagine, this was not something I was expecting at 42 years old and based on the symptoms I was having. Then the waiting game began…CT results, biopsy results, surgeon scheduling…luckily isolated to colon, not so lucky it is cancer.
2 surgeon opinions later, we went with a fantastic and amazing Duke colorectal surgeon. 5 weeks post recovery, I went onto 3 months of chemo and was finally in the clear in November!
