Don’t wait. The best treatment is early intervention! We all have our stories to tell and share. We need to build each other up and help when we can.
August 2020, I was tired after moving my youngest into college. My husband is an oncologist, and he got me in for a CBC. I went in and my hemoglobin was 6k. I was bleeding from somewhere. So, I went in that week for a colonoscopy, and they found a mass in my colon. I had a CT that same day, and I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer.
I started treatment within a week, and I am still in treatment receiving immunotherapy.
