Meet Tracy Berry, a of hope! đź’™

In 2006, at just 43, Tracy was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer after months of severe abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, and significant weight loss.

With the support of her medical team, she underwent a colon resection, participated in a clinical trial for Avastin, and completed a year of chemotherapy.

In October 2025, Tracy shared: "I am still cancer free!"

Stories like Tracy's can offer hope and remind us we're not alone. Read her full story and explore the experiences of others affected by colore**al cancer: fightcrc.org/story

New FDA approval for the stage III community — and a big reason to ask about . 📢

The FDA approved immunotherapy (atezolizumab/Tecentriq) + chemo for people with dMMR colon cancer after surgery. In the ATOMIC trial, it cut the risk of cancer returning or death by HALF. (86% cancer-free at 3 years vs. 76% with chemo alone.)

But here's the key: this only works for dMMR/MSI-H tumors — about 15% of colon cancers. And the ONLY way to know if your tumor qualifies is a biomarker test.

Thinking it through? Our website has plain-language questions to bring to your care team — what to ask about the benefits, the side effects, and what it means for you.

Already have your biomarker report? You can upload it to ChatCRC's free biomarker report reader to understand what it means before your next appointment. Vist chatbot.fightcrc.org or text 318-CHATCRC.
