0:00I was diagnosed with a stage 4 anal tumor, between eating and then having to eliminate what I ate, it was only 20 minutes. So everything in my gut had been killed by the radiation and the chemotherapy.
0:22I just didn't want to eat because I didn't want the pain of having to sit down on the toilet and go to the bathroom.
0:30Thinking back on it, it's not fun.
0:32Because I remember that pain.
0:34You know, just sitting and gripping and screaming and crying, well, after starting rise, I'll say, you know, the first week I really didn't feel anything.
0:40After starting rise, I really didn't feel that boost of energy which a lot of people feel from the mushrooms.
0:48But after the third week, um, I will say that I did start feeling more leveled out energy wise.
0:56But for me rise, basically has been the fact that I don't have colon issues on a daily basis. If I have one a month now, I'm surprised. I didn't have as low of lows as I had before.
