Meredith Huetter was diagnosed with stage III rectal cancer in 2020 at 46. 💙

Meredith says, “The road to recovery takes time. I am still working on my new routine with my colostomy and braving the three-month surveillance visits with the hope that I continue to hear the words 'no evidence of disease'. I know that obtaining and maintaining NED is not something we all get to do. My primary caregivers, husband, and 11-year-old son, continue to ride this wave with me.”

Meredith concludes, “Ive heard the word 'fighter' or 'you are so strong,' I think to myself, 'what choice do I have?’ I didn't choose this diagnosis. However, I needed to get to the other side for myself and my family.”

Terms like “survivor” and “fighter” might not resonate with everyone the same, and that's okay. What do you personally identify with? Feel free to share in the comments section.
