Hi, I am Carmen. I come from a large well blended family with lots of love for each other. I am married to my best friend and together we have the perfect blend of 5 boys. Jeremy and his wife Kelly, Jordan and his wife Mari, Joshua and his partner for life Amy, Sam and Hayden. We also have two beautiful granddaughters Kennedy and Lanie. I also have a sister Amy and her husband Wayne, Haley and her husband Matt, Janah and her husband Jon and a brother Joey and his wife Dana. And many nieces and nephews.
My cancer story started on November 17, 2022 when I was admitted into the hospital with a huge lump on my lower right back. They drained the lump and did surgery on November 21st where it was discovered that I have Colon Cancer. Since then it has been a world wind of testing and additional scans. I am currently under the care of an amazing medical team at Rex Cancer/UNC Cancer Center and chemo treatments started on February 27th. I am so grateful for their guidance and personal care.
I want to thank everyone for your continued support and prayers. And please if you feel like something isn't right, you know your body better than anyone, go see your doctor. I made a huge mistake of not taking my doctor's advice during a regular checkup and doing the Cologuard test. Looking back now it may have given us the signs that something wasn't right.
