Jason's Story
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, but it is also one of the most preventable types of cancer. How? Colonoscopy—a routine screening test—is key in detecting early signs of cancer and other serious conditions in the colon before they become life-threatening. If you’re over 45 or 50, or have risk factors like a family history of colorectal cancer, colonoscopy should be part of your health routine. Here’s why.
A colonoscopy isn't just another test—it's a life-saving procedure. It can detect colon cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages, often before symptoms even appear. Regular screenings also help prevent cancer by identifying and removing precancerous polyps before they develop into advanced cancer. Early detection and intervention can make all the difference.
Hi, I’m Jason Hemmerling, and this is my recovery story from colon cancer. It’s not an easy topic to talk about, but after everything I have been through, I feel it is important to share my journey. My experience with colon cancer, the care I received, and my path to recovery have truly changed my life.
The care I received from Riverview Health was incredible. From the moment I was diagnosed, the team guided me through every step. I never felt alone. The doctors, nurses, and support staff were compassionate and provided me with the strength I needed to fight this disease.
Thanks to early detection and the treatment I received, I can now go back to my normal life. My recovery was a journey, but it was worth every step. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the importance of having a care team you can trust. It truly can save your life. Our family is forever grateful to Dr. Samer Kawak and the entire team at Riverview Health for giving me a new life.
Healthcare is not a one-time event or a series of isolated treatments; it’s a lifelong journey that requires ongoing care, compassion, and understanding. This is why it’s so important to have a partner who not only provides expert medical care but who is deeply invested in your long-term well-being, supporting you every step of the way.
At Riverview Health, we are committed to being that partner. We offer comprehensive care that goes beyond just treating symptoms. We focus on you as a person, listening to your needs, and providing personalized care that evolves with you throughout your life. Wherever you are, we’re here to support your health, your well-being, and your peace of mind. Compassionate care. For life.
I chose to practice colorectal surgery because I was drawn to the wide variety of procedures and disease processes within the specialty. From seemingly small issues, such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures, to complex cancer care, the field provides an opportunity to have a diverse practice.
More importantly, I take care with patients when discussing sensitive and at times embarrassing topics common to my specialty. I pride myself on creating a safe space for patients where they feel comfortable expressing their problems.
