Intestinal Fortitude: A Tale of Early Onset Colon Cancer

by John Carney

I was 48 and felt fine—until I wasn't. 'Intestinal Fortitude' is my raw, unfiltered account of surviving early-onset colon cancer, from the shock of diagnosis to the nightmare of chemotherapy. I wrote this because I want you to know the truth about the 'aftermath' that doctors don't warn you the neuropathy, the toilet troubles, and the anxiety. Don't make the mistake of thinking this can't happen to you. Read my story, understand the risks, and please, go get checked. It’s a hell of a lot easier than what I went through.
