"Stay strong and keep fighting. Everyone has a hero and you may just be that hero."
In February 2015, my sister was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, which spread to her liver and lungs by the time they found it. She was 46 years old. In March 2015, I was diagnosed with stage II colon cancer at age 42. The only reason I got screened was because of my sister.
In October 2017. my sister lost her battle. If I would have waited to be screened, I would have been stage IV. My sister saved my life. I can’t say enough about getting screened.
