“I found out I had a carcinogenic neuroendocrine tumor, which is a form of cancer, a little after Dec 3. It happened when I got really sick and my side started to hurt really bad. My mom took me to the doctors and they found out that my appendix was about to burst. They told me I needed emergency surgery to take it out. While they were taking my appendix out, they found some tumors in my Lymph Nodes. They went and tested them to make sure they weren’t cancerous. We went home and a couple days later we got a call back from the doctors saying the tests came back positive for cancer. They scheduled my surgery for Jan. 19 to have a Right Hemicolectomy. It’s been a while now and I’m now officially cancer free.”
