Kasey Mattison - Miss August 2014

Postby Colon Girl » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:56 am

Check out Kasey Mattison, Miss August 2014… at 26 years old, Kasey Mattison was told, “you have cancer.” Her plans for starting a family went on hold as she underwent surgery, chemo and radiation.

Image

Treatment went smoothly, but life after cancer brought unexpected hurdles. She’s adjusted to life with an ostomy and made plans
to adopt (since alternative fertility options failed.)

She continued to have an optimistic outlook and she and her husband, Justin, were recently blessed with their beautiful baby girl, Makayla! (Congrats Justin & Kasey Sandvig Mattison!) Image

Purchase a 2014 to share with a family, friend or physician to educate them about the precursors of colorectal cancer, signs and symptoms, when is the right time for THEM to be screened and to diagnose patients by their symptoms… not their age!!: http://store.colonclub.com/collections/ ... -pre-order
