In early May 2022, Joyce went to visit her doctor as she had been experiencing some sharp pain on her right side that just wouldn’t go away. Through a series of tests (ultrasound, MRI and CT scan) it was discovered that Joyce has a mass in her colon and a number of other masses on her liver. She’s currently under the care of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and Coborn's Cancer Center in St Cloud after being diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer with metastases to the liver. She began chemotherapy June 29, 2022 with the hopes of shrinking the cancer so surgery is possible. A cure is possible - and that’s what we’re fighting for!
Joyce was declared NED (No Evidence of Disease) on April 27, 2023, but unfortunately has encountered a recurrence. Her journey to a cure continues. . .
