I Was Diagnosed With Stage 4 COLON Cancer After Losing My Dad To The SAME Cancer! "I was TERRIFIED"

Kathryn was 42 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, two decades after losing her dad to the same disease. In this video she shares the early colon cancer symptoms she noticed (left side pain and fatigue), how a walk-in clinic doctor and a colonoscopy led to her diagnosis, and what it was like to learn the cancer had spread to her liver. Kathryn walks through colon surgery, FOLFOX chemotherapy, a liver resection, ringing the bell, and the emotional reality of life after treatment. She also opens up about a recurrence in her lung, reframing metastatic colorectal cancer as something she lives with, and why self-advocacy and early colon cancer screening matter.
