I was lucky enough to find COLONTOWN about a year after my 43 year old husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in April of 2015. He has currently had well over a hundred rounds of chemo as well as HIPEC and I cannot even imagine what our life would be today without the knowledge, advice and friendships that this organization has given me.… Read more

I am a Stage IV colon cancer patient (diagnosed in February of 2019 at the age of 52 after a routine colonoscopy). Upon my diagnosis, I desperately searched for information online about my disease and wanted to join a support group where I could connect with fellow patients and find hope.

I was diagnosed with stage iv colon cancer with extensive mets to my liver in July 2014. I was 40 and a mom of a 6 year old. I had no family history and nothing genetic to explain why this happened to me. After my diagnosis I was looking for help, answers, support, anything because I had no one to turn to who could understand what was happening to our family.… Read more

I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with mets to liver in March of 2019 at the age of 29. My initial oncologist told me I was inoperable and offered palliative chemotherapy. As a mom of a young toddler and newborn this was simply not okay.

As my way of coping I threw myself into research of therapies that may give me more time with my family.

In August of 2018, a couple of months after being diagnosed with stage 3b colorectal cancer, I started to reach out online to get additional support with my cancer diagnosis. I found COLONTOWN after hearing Charles Griffin Jr. talk about it on a podcast. After the podcast, I joined COLONTOWN and gained support from many of its groups.… Read more

I am a Stage 3b colorectal cancer survivor.  I joined COLONTOWN after my diagnosis in 2017.   I quickly learned how much I did not know about my diagnosis and treatments.  I still remember being asked if I was MSS or MSI, and I had no idea what that meant.
As a member,  COLONTOWN provided me with valuable information and resources.

I am a Stage 4a colorectal cancer survivor.

I was diagnosed in 2018 at the age of 35 and this news sent my life into a tailspin. I was told I was inoperable due to the extent of cancer in my liver, would be on chemotherapy for my entire life, and that everything we were doing was to extend my life or for palliative reasons.… Read more
