Colon - Stage III |
Age at Diagnosis: 45
In 2011 at the age of 45, I woke up from surgery and was told that I had Stage 3B Colorectal Cancer. Chemotherapy was successful and I was able to go 4 years cancer free, however genetic testing confirmed that I was Lynch Syndrome positive with an MSH2 mutation, which allowed me to catch two additional cancers at early stages.
Today, I am cancer-free. I am still moving through the lifelong process of healing, monitoring, advocating, and adapting to the emotional and physical realities of survivorship. What I carry most now is gratitude, strength, and a sense of clarity. Cancer has tested me more than once, but it has also sharpened my purpose: to raise awareness, empower others, and remind every patient that their voice, instincts, and story truly matter.
