Colon - Stage IV |

Age at Diagnosis: 67

Omg I was interning it at first when I went to bathroom. It was hard to use the bathroom then. I saw blood, then I started to see blood clots coming out of my anus. I’ll stand the clots was coming out dropping to floor I knew it was something but not cancer. I’m very active and walked a lot. I went to the emergency room, and they gave me a CT scan and said it was stage four colon cancer. I was scared but prayed. I moved to San Diego and here I am. The chemo has made it smaller. I thank God every day
