Survivor Story: Stephen H.

How were you diagnosed?

I had a colonoscopy in July 2018, and was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The cancer had spread to my Liver and Spleen. I had my liver resectioned and spleen removed. Then in February 2019, I had another tumor removed. Right now I am doing maintenance chemo and have had 3 clean scans!

What would you tell others about getting screened?

You never know what’s inside you. I never felt a grapefruit-size tumor in me.

Why do you fight back against colon cancer?:

Because I want to live life to the fullest!
