Colon - Stage III |

Age at Diagnosis: 32

I live in Texas. I was diagnosed with stage IIIb colon cancer at age 32 years old. I was in the hospital, and I was all alone. The doctor didn’t wait for my spouse or loved one to be there before delivering the news.

You should be more afraid of not knowing what is wrong.
