Stage 4 Colon

Went through this in 2019 when I was 30. Stage 4 as well, had spread to the liver


As far as pain, I had none besides chemo side effects which would be awful for the first few days after treatment then get a little better as each day passed. I had treatments every 2 weeks


Had my liver surgery Jan 3, 2019 to successfully remove all cancer there. I went to the national championship to watch Burrow a week later, cause if I was gonna die I was gonna go out on top


Did radiation then colon surgery a few months later. Had to wear a colostomy bag for 3 months until they did the reversal surgery. That obviously wasn’t pleasant but like most things throughout the process, it is what it is


I’m in Houston and went to Baylor, not MD Anderson. Had incredible doctors that all worked together throughout. 10/10 experience as far as that goes


I’ve had clean scans for 2+ years now.

Keep your head up. Not saying you’ll have the same experience or outcome cause I can’t promise that, but stay positive for your loved ones. It’s way harder on them than it is on you. Please let me know if you have any questions. Easiest/quickest way to find me on here is the DAT on the more sports board
