At 50, Cathy (@cathybowersinva) began noticing strange symptoms, but brushed them aside. One morning at work, she confided in her best friend—who insisted she see her doctor that day. A colonoscopy followed, and on Friday the 13th in 2010, she woke up to the news: Stage III rectal cancer. Her treatment included radiation, resection surgery, a temporary ostomy, chemotherapy (5FU), reversal surgery, and more chemotherapy. Now, more than 14 years NED, she continues to show strength by using her survivorship to help others. Her journey brought her to #FightCRC, where she continues to show strength through advocacy. We're grateful for her dedication as one of our newest RATS members! 💙 Every story matters. Share yours today using the link in bio.

These oral therapies can make treatment more flexible, but they still require the same care and monitoring as traditional infusions.
