Tracy's Story

In August 2021, I had a positive Cologuard^®. I had a message from my PCP, and I was at home with my husband. On September 30, 2021, I learned I had two 瘜肉: one precancerous and one cancerous.

Tracy's Advice

Please do not be embarrassed to seek treatment. I refused a scope, no family history. I took a Cologuard test. I had a sigmoid colectomy.

Long story short, I ended up having four scopes due to complications. It's the fear of not knowing what to expect. Pay attention to your body. When caught early, colon cancer can be treated.
