CANCER

My journey thru Stage 3a Colon Cancer.  Young survivor stories from a survivor at the age of 35.  Life after, the stresses, the joys, the fears, the celebrations.  Follow up tests, scans, and appointments.  Dealing with the aftermath and Crazy.  The things no one tells you about after you are given the ALL CLEAR.  Helping bring awareness about the disease to those younger than 50.  Never too young.  If you have symptoms get screened it saves lives.  I give my candid and honest opinion and feelings on how I am dealing with this stupid disease.
