“September 6, 2016, the day my world came crashing down. The days leading up to this day started at the ER. I had put off going in to the doctor for symptoms that were increasingly hard to ignore. The final push to get me into the ER was rectal bleeding. And not just a small amount, a terrifying amount of blood that finally got my attention.
How did I just ignore all the symptoms I had been experiencing for a year? It is certainly easy to look back now and punish myself over and over again for not speaking up sooner.
If only I would have not been embarrassed, quick to think that this couldn’t happen to me, and consumed with my family and work and not taking care of myself.
After the initial colonoscopy found a tumor, I had another one done to verify size. I also had CT scans and an invasive MRI, not for the faint of heart. I traveled to Minnesota to get a second option from other oncologist on the treatment regimen. I had no idea at the time what was all involved in treating rectal cancer and wanted to gather as much information as I could to make an informed decision. I ended up choosing to be treated locally when I heard the treatment would be the same “gold standard” at both locations. I again didn’t want to affect my family’s life too much; wanted the kids to continue their lives as normally as they could.”
