Randy Hale

Land Surveyor and colon Cancer Survivor
Englewood, Colorado

 


The American Cancer Society estimates that 90 percent of colorectal cancers are curable with early detection, and yet, colorectal cancer remains the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, claiming an estimated 55,000 lives each year. Randy Hale is one of those who caught the disease early, thanks to Quest Diagnostics’ patient-friendly InSure test. Faster and easier to complete than traditional colorectal cancer screening tests, InSure is also highly accurate. Randy completed his test as a part of a routine annual physical, and was stunned when it revealed bleeding from his colon—a finding that quickly led to the discovery of four polyps, including one that was cancerous. Because the condition was caught early, the polyps were successfully removed with no need for follow-up chemotherapy or radiation. For Randy’s part, the story sharply underscores the importance of wellness testing. “I had no medical complaints, no reason for concern at all, so I was shocked when my InSure test showed I had colon cancer symptoms,” he says. “I owe my life to early detection.”

“The InSure test had clear instructions and was easy to complete. Using it ultimately saved my life. People should know that taking the InSure test is a simple process that can help them catch disease early and live longer, healthier lives.”
