Morgan had not turned 45 yet, so she hadn’t received a screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. But when she noticed blood in her stool at age 41, she did exactly what she should have and sought medical evaluation. After months of missteps became years of dismissive care, she realized it was time for a second opinion at Siteman Cancer Center. With the help of WashU Medicine radiation oncologist Hyun Kim, MD, co-director of the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Program, Morgan was given a treatment plan that provided the care she needed. In this episode, we discuss her persistence and dedication to getting herself the best care for her young-onset colorectal cancer diagnosis.
