RACHEL的故事

I was anemic for a while,always pale,tired, I just thought it was my heavy menstrual cycles. My GYN also confirmed that it was my cycles. I had received a blood transfusion and was getting iron infusions. Eventually I had a CAT Scan that showed a mass in my cecum. I had a colonoscopy which revealed a large mass and had surgery the next day. Pathology showed Stage IIIB Cancer with 4/25 positive lymph nodes. Chemo for 6 months. Cancer free now.  I am 44 years old, no history of bowel issues, no family history. I want to share my story.

RACHEL的建议

不要忽视任何事情。我是贫血，没有肠道问题，但只是认为是我的月经周期过长，我的妇科医生也同意我的看法。保持乐观。有时很困难，但我的积极态度让我度过了艰难时期。接受许多人提供的帮助。我已经离婚了，而且是单身。我很独立，不喜欢寻求帮助。当我需要帮助时，我学会了请求。
