Gabriel Leblanc: the Alliance helped me become a survivor
“Screening found more than 100 polyps in my colon and I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. A million thoughts run through your mind, but only one seems to matter: How am I going to get through this?
With help from the Alliance, I now call myself a survivor. The Alliance provided invaluable resources and support. I felt like I was on a sheer cliff about to fall over when a patient navigator helped pull me back from the edge.
If it wasn’t for generous people funding the Alliance, I wouldn’t have received the support I so desperately needed."
Read Gabriel's story, and please give to help make more survivors.
