At 32 with 2 small kids and a very demanding career that was moving us across the U.S again my husband thought his GI upset was due to stress. Losing weight, cramps, occasionally passing blood sent him to the doctor but he was told it was probably IBS and stress, change your diet comeback if not better. It didn’t get better, so he went back and was given medicine for IBS. Still no improvement so a scope was ordered but no rush because he is young. Took 9 months to get that colonoscopy and within a few minutes of the procedure we were told he has cancer. Months of chemotherapy and radiation to get to surgery and an ileostomy bag then 3 liver surgeries followed with more chemotherapy. He is still here and fighting with all he has to be here for his family.
