Survivor New York “I had to push back on my physician who did not want prescribe a colonoscopy. I was diagnosed at the age of 34 with stage II colorectal cancer. Shortly after that I had a partial colectomy that removed the tumor. Pushing to get screened saved my life and gave me the chance to have extra time in life. I want to use that time to prevent other people from having a cancer diagnosis.”
