My Story…
Eric Hamilton is a Stage 4 colorectal cancer patient living in Edmonton, Alberta. He and his wife Jasmine have two children: Byron, aged 11 and Julianne, aged 8. While continuing systemic treatment, he works full-time as a Senior Policy Analyst with the Government of Alberta. Diagnosed with colon cancer at Stage 3 initially in June 2022 at age 41, he underwent a successful colon resection surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Unfortunately, 18 months later, the disease was found to have spread to his liver and nearby lymph nodes. Eric then underwent a liver resection and currently has disease only in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. He hopes to regain his health in the long term and to be off treatment eventually. Eric understands the young-onset patient experience well. He advocates for aggressive, curative treatments for himself and other under-50 CRC patients who may also have young families, careers, and potentially decades left to live.
