Biography

My name is Lisa and I am 43 years old, diagnosed with colon cancer in September of 2007, turned my world upside down.I am married for almost 15 years and we live in NC. I have 3 children that are my world! A girl and 2 boys.
I started having frequent bathroom trips about a year before diagnosis, my Dr brushed it off as IBS…..finally had another dr send me for a EGD and then we did the colonoscopy and they found the mass,had surgery and they also removed my ovaries as it had spread there and we found a small spot on my lung, it has been reduced in size 60% since I started chemo.
