苏珊的故事

In early 2013, I began having rectal pain and some bleeding. I thought that it was related to exercise, so I set up a visit with my gynecologist who ordered medication to treat what we believed to be hemorrhoids or a fissure.

When the symptoms didn’t improve a few months later, I was referred to a general surgeon who continued the medication for a while with no results.  In July 2013, I was referred to a colorectal surgeon in Macon, Georgia and Dr. Douglas Brewer performed a biopsy that lead to the discovery of my rectal cancer. I immediately started a six-week regime of radiation and oral chemotherapy. After those six weeks, I had a CT and PET scan which revealed that the cancer was no longer present.  In January 2014, I underwent surgery  that resulted in the placement of a temporary ileostomy while my body healed inside, and another round of chemo was ordered as a maintenance precaution.  Eight months later the ileostomy was reversed and at my most recent CT scan– nearly a year later - I am CANCER-FREE!
