As a recent colorectal cancer survivor, I found this interview to be very informative. It amazes me to see the advances in medical technology for individuals who have colorectal cancers and to be informed on some of the newer procedures available to those who have cancers that have spread to other organs. Thank you for taking the time to inform the public on some medical interventions for colorectal cancer. Praying for a total cure of all cancers.
