Btw, I'm creating these videos to provide some insights into the cancer treatment journey, especially for young adults who may have been recently diagnosed. If that's you, let me know if there is anything you'd like me to cover in future videos.

I’m going through this too. I’m waiting on a colonoscopy. A side note, my husband has survived 1- stage 2 colon cancer and 3- stage 4 that went to his liver. Still here 14 years later 💙🇨🇦✌️

I was diagnosed with stage 2 rectal cancer on 5-12-23 at the age of 54. I am now getting ready to have the chemo port "installed" and decided I am also going to document my journey like yours. 🙏
