In 2020, I decided to take back my health, through diet & exercise I lost 75lbs. I was the healthiest I had been in years. In 2024 my doctor recommended my first colonoscopy at 45 versus waiting until I was 50. I had no symptoms, my blood work was great, I felt amazing. Just a routine screening. There was zero reason for concern…until there was. They were concerned with a spot they took out of my colon. On April 11, 2024, I will never forget the voice on the other end of the line. After days of waiting, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had joined a club I never wanted to be a part of. BUT, because of early detection, my life was saved! I had a partial colectomy but because of early detection I didn’t even have to have chemo. Early detection saved my life! Get screened, it could save your life as well!
