When Pat was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, she learned surgery wasn’t an option,
which led her and her oncologist to choose chemotherapy.
Title: Why chemo was the right choice
“When I was initially diagnosed, unfortunately, I was told that surgery wasn’t an
option. I wasn’t in an emergency surgery situation, but I was also in a situation
where the cancer had compromised my liver to the point where if they didn’t get
some form of medicine in to help the liver regulate, I wasn’t necessarily going
to make it to surgery. My oncologist is a really well respected oncologist and his
patient-manner was something that made me feel very comfortable with his advice.”
