I experienced a handful of blood tests, being poked and prodded more times than one would wish for. Again, the test wasn't quite right. So, I had another CT scan and then returned to the surgeon. Let me tell you, by this time I was about 4 weeks into this ordeal with the lump, now forever known as Bernie.

I was diagnosed at the age of 42 on May 12th, 2017 with stage 3 colorectal cancer. I had been experiencing "bowel issues" for almost 2 years prior to my diagnosis. Easily explained away as stress (I was in pharmacy school at the time). Also my younger sister had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. We had no previous family history of any types of cancer.
