The Colon Cancer Podcast Welcome to the show everyone. I hope you are all well. My guest today is the creator and host of the popular The Colon Cancer Podcast. In his words, he created the show “to provide survivors, caregivers and professionals a vehicle to share their stories of struggle, hope and survival in the face of colon cancer and to provide hope and inspiration to those affected by the disease.” He was diagnosed with pediatric kidney cancer called Wilms’ Tumor at 5 years of age and is a Stage 4 colon cancer survivor. On New Years Eve 2012, 30 days after being married, he received the news that no one wants to receive, he would need a liver resection followed by 6 months of chemotherapy. He made a commitment to living his life on his terms and to approach it with a positive outlook. He wasn't going to let the disease interfere with how he wanted to live his life. He continued to exercise and he decided that he was going to feel good by making other people feel good. He completed treatment in August 2013 and was given the great news that he had No Evidence of Disease (NED). In the Spring of 2014 two nodules were found in his lungs for which he received Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). Shortly after completing treatment, as promised, he finished the Tampa Undie 5k Run with his best time ever.
