I was diagnosed in March of this year with rectal cancer, and am scheduled for low anterior resection surgery in June. This was completely out of the blue, on a preventative screening with no symptoms. But I'm so glad that I had the screening done when I did and we're hoping that the surgery will be all I need. It's so important to get your screenings done and catch these things early! Raising awareness can help make sure others are aware of symptoms and screening options available, as well as hopefully advance treatment options and maybe someday find a cure.
