My Story:

I was diagnosed in August 2010 with Stage 1 colorectal Cancer. I had an anterior resection of the colon and reattachment roughly 3" above the anus. I did not need chemotherapy or radiation post-operatively. I was very lucky, but still struggle with what is the best diet for me and inconsistent bowel habits.
