knows about colon cancer. She is one of the rare
survivors. As recommended, Rose did her first colonoscopy
at age 50. Rose says, “The doctor found polyps
and removed them. He recommended I return in five
years. But I didn’t like the drink (a bowel-clearing
solution that’s part of colonoscopy prep),
so I didn’t return. Ten years later something
was protruding from my naval. My polyps had grown
back, multiplied, and I had stage IV colon cancer
with a prognosis of six months to a year to live.
It had metastasized to my liver, lungs and ovaries.
I was not a candidate for surgery. I was terminal.
Hearing you have cancer is the worst thing in the
world. I needed to make a will. I needed to tell
my neighbor I didn’t hate her. My daughter
had passed away, and I was caring for my grandchildren…what
would become of them? Let my heartbreak be your
wake-up call.”
