Chandler Here :)

First, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been rooting for me. Your thoughts, prayers, and messages mean more than I can put into words. I feel so incredibly grateful for the constant support and truly feel all the love being sent my way.

As you may know, March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and it has become very personal to me through this journey. 💙

If there’s one thing I want to share, it’s this: please don’t wait until age 45 to schedule a colonoscopy. Colorectal cancer is being diagnosed more and more in younger people, and early detection truly saves lives. If you’ve had symptoms, a family history, or simply haven’t been checked — advocate for yourself and get screened. Blood tests alone are not enough. All of my blood work looked perfect, and little did I know I had stage IV cancer. Please, please get your screenings done.

I’m very grateful to share that I’m doing really well through my treatments, and I’m feeling hopeful and strong. The support, prayers, and encouragement from so many of you have meant more to me than I could ever express. Is going to treatment every other Friday the most fun thing ever? Definitely not. But I feel so thankful for the mind and body connection I’ve found through this journey. My nurses say it’s a huge part of my success. I wake up every day feeling thankful — thankful that my body is responding to treatment and thankful that my mind is clear and strong.

My next round of scans is tomorrow, March 12th, and I’m asking anyone who feels called to join me in prayer that morning. At 11:00 AM, while I’m having my scans done, please take a moment to pray that:

• Everything continues to shrink

• My body is healing

• The treatments continue to work exactly as they should

• There is no spread

Sending so much love to all of you. Thank you for standing with me in faith, hope, and prayer. I truly believe in the power of community and positive energy. 💙 I appreciate each of you so much and am sending hugs to everyone continuing to pray for me. 🙏

P.S.

Our trip to Hawai’i was exactly what our souls needed. The islands are so special to both me and Will. We took time away from our phones and truly enjoyed being present together. My sweet Will has been incredible through this entire journey, and I’m beyond grateful for him. I’ve attached a few photos from our trip! ☀️🌺
