Woman With Terminal Cancer Urges Early Screening After Beating the Odds

Jamie Comer from San Francisco was 47 when a routine blood test revealed something was wrong. Doctors diagnosed her with stage four colon cancer that had spread to her liver. “I had 45 tumors on my left side and 12 on my right,” she said. “They said I would likely die in three to six months.”

Despite the devastating news in 2016, Comer fought back. She went through grueling treatments, including 190 rounds of chemo, seven surgeries, and over 60 scans. “I feel like my insides are burning up,” she recalled. Her main motivation? “I had an eight-year-old… I did not have permission to go.”
