Pete Solomon, colorectal cancer survivor and former television sportscaster who also helped others by working in a library for the handicapped, was in good health until he noticed he was becoming increasingly fatigued. A trip to the doctor led to a colonoscopy and a diagnosis of Stage Four colorectal cancer, a procedure that included chemotherapy, resulting in the removal of his colon and five lymph nodes. In addition to the occasional mental lapses that are a byproduct of chemo, Pete had to wear and maintain a colostomy bag. Pete’s cancer journey eventually took a turn for the better, and physically he can do practically everything he could prior to the diagnosis. By way of advice, he suggests you listen to your body and trust your care team.
