This month, our Colorectal Cancer Spotlight Series features Joe Catarineau, a stage 3B colorectal cancer survivor who is now five years with no evidence of disease. He lives in the Florida Keys with his wife of 30 years, Missy, and their three daughters. ✨
Joe promised a friend with colorectal cancer that he would get screened at age 45. He had no symptoms, was in great shape, and had no family history, but he followed through to honor his friend’s legacy. Now, it’s his mission to encourage others to get screened at 45, carrying forward the message that once inspired him.
Thank you, Joe, for sharing your story and being a steadfast advocate. 💙
