Heather Sherwin
Patient/Survivor |
Colon - Stage III |
Age at Diagnosis: 32
Heather Sherwin has always been conscious of how she treats her body, and colon cancer reminded her just how important that is.
Heather mentioned her symptoms to doctors for seven years but was told that she had IBS, spastic colon and spiritual problems. Despite eating an organic and vegetarian diet, Heather’s symptoms continued until a friend pushed her to see a gastroenterologist. She was relieved to be diagnosed with stage III colon cancer because at least she finally knew what was wrong. Since her diagnosis, she has fought a recurrence in her lymph nodes with traditional and complementary and alternative therapies.
Heather continues to take care of herself by working out and eating well. She knows that “an apple a day” is just one part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Colon Club Featured Survivor
Heather was featured in the 2007 Colondar, a project of The Colon Club.
We are sad to share that Heather passed away on January 30, 2007.
