Steph had been dealing with some lower bowel issues for a while and got his fist Colonoscopy in June 2018. The surgeon at the time gave him a clean bill of health and sent him on his way with some minor hemorrhoids to take care of on his own. During the next two years those same hemorrhoids became bothersome and getting speedy medical attention became an issue due to Covid. Nonetheless in May 2020 Steph received the attention he needed and unfortunately was diagnosed with and agressive rectal cancer. This cancer had already moved to other parts like the liver and lungs. As a result Steph was connected to a temporary colostomy and put on robust Chemo treatment which began in June 2020.
