Daniel is a stage III colon cancer survivor. He was diagnosed after a routine colonoscopy at the age of 40 years with no obvious symptoms of the disease. Because his grandfather had colon cancer, Daniel’s gastroenterologist said he should start earlier than the recommended age at 50, a decision that likely saved his life.
Daniel is an advocate of early screening and research and helping families who have to endure this battle. He was a Fight CRC Ambassador which drove him to become even more involved with the organization.
