Hello, I'm Joe — a cancer survivor, new dad, and advocate for young adults navigating the unexpected realities of cancer. At 29, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. Through it all, I’ve found purpose in sharing my story and helping others find light in their own battles.
In 2019, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer with a KRAS mutation. I underwent years of chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple surgeries — including liver and lung ablations. After all of that, I reached remission and lived cancer-free for almost two years.
Recently, new scans revealed a recurrence, and the operation being proposed would drastically impact my quality of life. I’m currently seeking second opinions, clinical trials, and innovative treatment paths that could provide effective options without resorting to that level of surgical intervention.
If you’re a doctor, researcher, or affiliated with a medical trial, I would truly appreciate hearing from you. Whether it’s information about an active study, an emerging therapy, or a willingness to discuss my case — every connection matters.
Please use the form below to reach out directly — whether to share trial information, offer guidance, or connect me with the right people.
