Episode 01: Three and a Half Minutes

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.

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.

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,

Chris Brimley

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).
Thank you so much. Craig -- Long Island, NY

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

Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I promise the next time I'm in So. Carolina, I'll give you a call.

Tim

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.
