My Story…

My eldest sister Marissa was diagnosed with stage 3b colorectal cancer at age 20, and ultimately died of it at the age of 24 back in 2018. What was then baffling to doctors has now become increasingly more common to see in people who are in their 20s and 30s, and colorectal cancer is no longer an "old man's cancer." She was an ambitious, kind, and loving sister whom I miss immensely, and I hope one day we can lower the screening age for colorectal cancer and save more lives, so instances like hers never happen again.
