Colon - Stage III |
Age at Diagnosis: 45
After the recommended 45 yro colonoscopy screening I told I had a 3cm mass on my transverse colon. I missed the symptom of anemia. My plan was surgery after pathology I was told stage IIIb. I then endured 3 months of FOLFOX Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy mental physically tested my will. After finishing treatment I have dedicated my new life to the message of early screening.
