RUTH'S STORY

On December 2, I had a colonoscopy, then on December 12, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The doctor decided to take action right away and on December 17, I had a foot of my colon removed and I am still going through recovery. Cancer is a life changing event for family, friends and loved ones. Stay strong, be positive and most of all, don't take life to serious and enjoy what makes you happiest. For me, my happy places are the beach and my granddaughter, two things I will be seeing as soon as I can.

RUTH'S ADVICE

Stay positive, and surround yourself  around positive people and for me I pray...keep smiling and be happy!

WHAT ONE MILLION STRONG MEANS TO RUTH
