Welcome to my fundraising page!
Please join me in supporting the Colon Cancer Coalition’s mission to reduce barriers to colorectal cancer screening and educate the public about life saving colorectal cancer screening options. Together, we can make a difference.
MY STORY:
July 29, 2021 colonoscopy disovered invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma
Octorber 20, 2021 Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center, TX to remove stage T3b, 7cm tumor located in rectal/sigmoid colon. Pathology of turmor was T3N0 high tumor budding poorly differentiated clusters which indicated high risk of reoccurrance.
December - February chemo infusions followed by March - May oral chemo.
Since then I receive regular blood tests every three months to check for indications of cancer reoccurrance. I also return to MD Anderson yearly in December for bloodwork, colonoscopy and CT Scans. I'm lucky and blessed that I have since been NED (no evidence of disease).
Did you know that colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer? Only lung cancer kills more Americans each year than colon cancer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Regular, early screening is essential to catching this disease before it begins and in its earliest stages.
Survival rate is over 90% when caught in early stages.
By donating and sharing my page, you can directly help people that are impacted by colon cancer and help save lives.
Thank you for your support! We are stronger together.
