Navigate Pam’s Journey with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer

06:27 They scheduled me for a colonoscopy

06:56 That’s when I was diagnosed with cancer, right before a big beach trip
08:52 The fainting episode was right before the Fourth of July and then my diagnosis was August 31st
10:54 I get sad when there’s additional information – adjusting to that is ongoing every time a new piece of the puzzle arrived
11:40 I was so young and did not have any symptoms
11:50 They said well it’s in the lymph node we biopsied which means you have to do chemotherapy
11:55 Then I was crying in the stairwell at my office
"If you're just now learning about your diagnosis, understand that that initial time, that first few days, that first few weeks, maybe a few months - that's the worst time... it's when it's hitting you the hardest... and there's a lot of uncertainty. It's going to suck a lot in the beginning and it's going to get easier as it goes on."
