Story: On November 9, 2018, 11:40 a.m., I got a call, “Hi mom, they found a mass.” Our lives have been in a tailspin ever since. My 29-year-old son, Jordan, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. He was recently married and a first time father to a 4-month-old baby boy. Two years later, Jordan is still in this battle. The cancer has spread and not responding to chemo. Now Jordan is starting a clinical trial.
