I was diagnosed in October of 2024, a month before my 32nd birthday. We found the cancer by a pure fluke—I was having pain in my right lower quadrant with nausea and vomiting. My wife thought it was my appendix and took me to our local ER. After a CT scan, they told me I had a mass in my colon and multiple lesions in my liver. Days later, I was at a major cancer center. Not even a week later, they confirmed it was cancer. I met with an oncologist and began chemotherapy.
In February, a radiologist thought they saw a suspicious lesion on my spine. My oncologist ordered a bone scan, and it showed metastases along my spine and at the base of my skull. Most recently, I was hospitalized due to weakness in my left hand. My care team now believes the cancer has spread to my brain, and I’m scheduled for an MRI with contrast to confirm.
