20-year-old patient: You¡¯re never too young to get colorectal cancer
I was just coming off of my first year playing college basketball in August 2021 when I was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer.??
I felt scared and very confused. I¡¯ve always watched my weight and cared about what I put in my body. So, I didn¡¯t understand how I could have colon cancer at the age of only 19.?
I learned the reason right after my diagnosis: genetic testing showed I have Lynch syndrome....
