I just completed successful surgery on both of my lungs in the last 10 weeks and am cancer free for the first time in 3 years for Christmas. The technology for both surgical and chemo procedures have changed since I was diagnosed over 5 years ago. Living a positive lifestyle and 1000's of people praying for me is why I'm still alive. Love your life, live your life and laugh alot. You'll either live a joyous life or die a very happy person. Both are just fine by me!
shmlly1996 What a heart wrenching but truthful message said with the clarity of what people who have going through this ordeal often say. Spread the word about this documentary now called Smart Ass. I will send healing thoughts to you and your father. The cancer has spread to my bladder and chest and yet I'm NOT admitting defeat. Hang in there. Chemo can work.
I know this disease is unreal, we just found out my wife's mother has Cancer in both breasts. You are my hero, keep up the Great Work. Documentaries are powerful, I will spread the word! With Love and yes no DEFEAT!
. There are thousands of families who feel our pain. Each morning and before I go to bed at night, I kiss my dad and tell him how much I love him. He is the best Dad in the world. A boy needs a father, I wish he could stay but I must let him go. I watch his chest rise and fall, never knowing if that is his last breath. I pray for strength for my Dad, my family and myself.
My dad has stage 4 Colon Cancer and the only option is Chemotherapy. Even with treatment, the odds are 5-10%. The Cancer has spread to his Lungs and Liver and the Doctors said he only has a few months to live. As a son, Im lost for words to explain my pain, my Dad is only 53. I took my Dad fishing and He had enough strength to stand up and cast his pole.

The beautiful and courageous woman's name was Christine, and she was my wife and mother of our two young daughters. She was also an elite level triathlete and had competed and taken second place in a large race one week prior to her diagnosis. Christine in no way fit into the catagory of a person likely to get colon cancer. No one is immune, please be screened no matter of your condition or even age to a point. She was 37 years old. All the best,
Hi Tim: I want to sincerely thank you for being the driving force behind my colorectal exam. (I am very fortunate and had excellent results on my screening today, no polyps). If it were not for you sharing your experiences and stressing the importance of screening I would have just kept on putting it off, and off, and off. Let us ALL spread the word that this routine exam really can, and does, save Lives...(It also provides you with a Peace of Mind).
The beautiful woman in this video was laid to rest yesterday in a Salt Lake City cemetary. I am ever grateful for her contribution to our efforts to bring awareness of colorectal cancer to the public and I pray for her husband and children's comfort in this very difficult time. Her death could have been avoided had she been screened. A huge loss to our community and the many people who loved her. Spread the word about colorectal cancer screening and this documentary. Thank you. Tim
I am struck by the video. My dad (Matt) and I are in awe of your recovery and what you have done with it. Congratulations on the documentary. It is powerful and will make a difference. Great people change lives when they embrace the lemons life gives from time to time. Powerful. All the best and come some me in South Carolina, next time.
This is wonderful Tim. Your story, and with it all of our stories, need to be told. We can no longer be afraid to "talk about poop." Colorectal cancer is soon to become a household word. And not a minute too soon. Best of luck on the project.
Tim, these videos are amazing and powerful. Please do keep on with your campaign and I will do all I can to help spread the word. Best wishes, Slobberdog
All of us must bring awareness to colon cancer - any way-any how. Thanks for your video and thanks for getting the word out. My brothers last words were "my death is going to save your life" and this is certainly true. I have my own campaign....maybe it's a little on the far side but it's working!
If you only convey a small portion of your personal struggle fighting colon cancer, I'm sure that you will move a mountain of individuals into getting screened for cancer. And in doing so will save many lives. Success for you in this documentary is everyone's success. I wish you and your family all the Best!
Your courage and the courage of your family is an example for us all. You story is worth telling and will touch millions of lives. I wish you the very best of luck in your project and looking forward to more.
Thank you so much for support. I know you deal with the aftermath of colorectal cancer indirectly in your own life and you have been a pillar of support to me over the years. You're the best! Thank you for posting a comment as well.
Thank you Tyler for your kind words and support. There are some amazing things happening in the future of this project with the interviews and a celebrity (who I'll keep to myself for now) who has committed to writing and performing a song about all the taboo words associated with the colorectal cancer. Keep watching. Thanks. Tim

Hi Tim,
Education is always a good thing. I admire your courage to tell such a story. It seems like in many cases cancer never really has a happy ending.
Even if you recover from it the fear is always in the mind that it might come back.
Wish you the best and wish I had a million to help in your crusade..
