Hi my name is Justin I'm 42 years old I'm divorced and I have two wonderful children a 17 year old and a 15 year old. Here's a little bit about my life. As a younger kid I always felt something weird about the way I felt and around 2005 things picked up on me I went and had a upper scope and a lower scope done and then on the lower scope it showed that I had polyposis, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease. In 2006 they wanted to remove my colon before it turn to cancer and I just couldn't do it at that time. I just started a landscape business and I sunk a huge bunch of money into it and I would have had breach of contracts and a lot of bad things would have happened so I held off for a year and just dealt with my issues. In 2007 I had my colon removed they left 13 cm of it hooked to my rectum. 2011 I came down with adenoma of the stomach, which flip the cancer. So between 2007 and 2011 I went through 18 surgeries. In 2014 I had another surgery done which is called Nissan fundoplication wrap, basic they use part of your stomach and make a wrap around the sphincter muscle between the stomach and the esophagus. I had problems of throwing up so hard that I was perforating my esophagus. 2016 I came down with rectum cancer, and I mostly got that because of when they removed my colon in 2007 they left 13 cm of it left attached to the rectum,they didn't want to go down in my pelvis at at a young age because it would have messed me up sexually because
they would of been working around the penile nerve. So 2016 I had that 13 cm and my rectum removed for cancer. So there's just a little bit of my story I just wanted to introduce myself and black people understand why am I eating habits and all that type of stuff are the way they are and somebody else out there could be going through the same thing and you know I was always looking for somebody to reach out to to talk to having this disease made me feel alone even though I had family support. 3 time cancer survivor and that the present time I'm in a nursing home sense January and without this app I don't know well I do know I wouldn't be where I am right now since the time I've been using this app I've added two and a half inches to the muscle to my biceps I lost one and a half inch on my waist, I gained 3 inches on my chest , 3 in on my legs around my hamstrings and quads.I hope they get some feedback out there because I know there's got to be more people than just me dealing with the situation this mutation in the DNA cause of these diseases but you can't give up that's number one and I hope I get to meet some of y'all in the meanwhile I know it's a crazy world out there y'all be safe
