My Colon Cancer Symptoms: Keith’s Stage 4 Colon Cancer Story | The Patient Story

Shortly after gallbladder removal, Keith started getting stomach pain. His wife encouraged him to go to the ER where he got a CT scan that revealed a mass in his colon. After removing the mass and some lymph nodes, a biopsy showed Keith had stage 4 colon cancer.

As a husband and a father of two boys, Keith discusses the impact his diagnosis has had on his outlook and life and how he stopped working to prioritize time spent with his sons.
