At 26, David Lyon never imagined cancer could affect him. When he noticed blood, he brushed it off. But as the pain worsened, he finally got checked.
A colonoscopy revealed Stage 4 colon cancer that had already spread to his liver. Shocked and angry, David chose to stay mentally strong—focusing on living, working out, and playing hockey even through years of chemotherapy.
After surgery and a life-saving liver transplant, he beat the disease. Now 31, he’s cancer-free.
His story is a powerful reminder: don’t ignore warning signs. Even young people are increasingly being diagnosed, and early action can save lives.
