My name is Angi. I am a mother of four amazing children, a wife, and an aunt to six wonderful kids. I have been fighting colon cancer since June of 2008. Due to my young age and strong family history of colon cancer (grandfather died at 55 of colon cancer, mother died at 40 of colon cancer, and my sister died at 25 of colon cancer), I saw Dr. Geier, a Genetic Oncologist. I tested positive for Lynch Syndrome, which means that I am more likely to get cancer in my colon, stomach, uterus, and ovaries before the age of 50. I began traditional chemotherapy yet was unfortunate in that my disease did not respond and actually progressed. My oncologist contacted MD Anderson in Houston to see if I would qualify for a clinical trial. I will be traveling down in the next few days to discuss my treatment options. I wanted to thank the Jennifer Ireland Foundation for there assistance in some of my medical/travel expenses. Thank you so very much.
