"I am passionate about learning, sharing my story, and inspiring others. I've learned to avoid asking, "Why me?" but instead I ask, "Why not me?" That's helped me align with who I am and see the opportunities and beauty coming from this tragic situation."
Tim McDonald, a stage IV colorectal cancer survivor was diagnosed after having pain in his side. After an urgent care visit, Tim had a CT scan and a call from the doctor to come in person. Tim was told he had cancer, and his doctor sent him for a colonoscopy to confirm. Tim says the best advice he received is to get a second, third, and fourth opinion.
The cancer spread to Tim’s liver, and he continues treatment, with the support of his wife. He is passionate about creating colorectal cancer awareness.
