"I'm a care partner for a stage 4 colorectal cancer patient. My wife, Marek, has been battling for two years and considering all circumstances, she's doing quite well, but it's obviously an ongoing thing. I want to raise awareness about the rise of GI cancers in early onset settings—so people under 50 years old.
Unfortunately for us millennials and Gen Z, especially rectal cancer, is really quickly increasing in rates.
We need to be aware of the early signs and often also the unusual signs of colorectal cancer so that we can diagnose it earlier and prevent it to go in for metastatic cancer."
