Cancer Type
Colon Cancer
Wayne was enjoying an active, outdoor life. After an annual physical (less a colonoscopy, due to scheduling) and a two-week hiking trip in New Mexico, Wayne had his first colonoscopy at age 52. The diagnosis colon cancer, but no symptoms or bleeding, but a big letdown from the high of hiking with a group of scouts. Surgery, right hemi-colectomy and a port for chemotherapy under the direction of Dr Raja Mehdi.
