My aunt had colon cancer three times. She was 64 lbs when she passed away.
She was 54 years old.
I went and celebrated her last birthday with her on January 30th. She lost her battle on March 18 that same year.
Her and I were close in age.
I miss her.
Last year, I had a colonoscopy and the Dr found four polyps. Three of them were precancerous and the largest one was not. I'm 62 now.
I have to go and get another colonoscopy next year because of the precancerous polyps, instead of every five years.
My biological mother has stage 4 colon cancer.
It seems like everyone has cancer.
My stepmom has lung cancer. My dad has prostate cancer. My husband passed away from esophageal cancer. My step sister's Mil passed away from lung cancer. Her Fil died in her arms from a major heart attack.
