| At 38, Mitchell was skiing, hiking, and living the active life he always loved. Then his bowel habits changed. He tried changing his diet, but nothing helped.
While working with his doctor to find the cause, Mitchell also joined Function and added the Galleri® Multi-Cancer Test, which looks for cancer signals across 50+ types of cancer.
His result came back in large letters: “Cancer signal detected”.
Mitchell was already trying to schedule a colonoscopy. He brought the result to his consultation, and what could have been weeks of waiting became days.
The colonoscopy found a mass. A biopsy confirmed Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Treatment was difficult, but Mitchell’s energy is returning. For him, that early signal meant he could move quickly when it mattered.
His biggest takeaway: You have to be your own advocate. |
