Raj, 56, was diagnosed with stage I colon cancer in 2023 after a routine colonoscopy. “I had no symptoms—this truly was a lifesaver,” he says. He underwent minimally invasive surgery to remove the tumor, avoiding chemo entirely.​
“My medical team emphasized diet changes—more fiber, less processed food—to support recovery,” Raj explains. He also started daily walks, which boosted his mood. “Six months later, I’m back to work and feeling better than before.”​
He now cooks healthy meals for his family every night. “That colonoscopy might have saved my life. Don’t put it off.”​
He advises: “Early colon cancer is often silent, but it’s highly treatable. Screening isn’t optional—it’s essential.”
