I thought I had a hemorrhoid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laslie, who works in human resources, also thought the bleeding might have been caused by stress, as he had gone through a layoff because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was about to start a new job.<\/p>\n<p>But the bleeding wasn\u2019t going away. In May 2020, Laslie went to see his family doctor, who referred him for a colonoscopy with gastroenterologist Darien Heap, MD. Dr. Heap found a tumor in the lower part of his rectum.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately following the procedure, Laslie was told he had colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, I didn\u2019t expect to hear that,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m a generally healthy person, and this is not something that runs in my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laslie was referred to oncologist Joseph Ye, MD. Once he underwent the required testing, he worked with Dr. Ye to devise a treatment plan, which included radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a high level of concern about the size and location of the cancer, so I got started with treatment right away,\u201d Laslie explains.<\/p>\n<p>He had radiation treatment five days a week from June through August of that year, combined with daily oral chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a challenging time, to say the least. Not only was this during the pandemic, but the treatment schedule was rigorous, and I had just started a new job,\u201d says Laslie. \u201cThankfully, my new boss at the time was very flexible with me taking the time off for my treatments. I was fortunate to work with someone so understanding and supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When complex surgery requires the utmost expertise<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once radiation treatment was complete, Laslie was eligible for surgery. His sister \u2014 a nurse of 30 years \u2014 encouraged him to consider Dr. Rashidi for his surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy sister was a nurse at Madigan Army Medical Center at the time and knew of Dr. Rashidi\u2019s expertise in the field of colorectal surgery, as she taught and performed robotic surgery procedures there,\u201d explains Laslie. \u201cAnd her good friend who\u2019d had colorectal cancer surgery done by Dr. Rashidi had nothing but extremely positive things to say about her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did some research of his own and determined it was a \u201cno-brainer\u201d to go with Dr. Rashidi. Surgery was scheduled for the end of October, but Laslie had to prepare during the month leading up to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Rashidi and her team held my hand before, during and after surgery. Because it was a pretty major surgery, I had several pre-op appointments to help me prepare,\u201d he says. \u201cThey were incredibly detailed as they walked me through the different steps of what to expect. There were certain preparatory tasks I had to do the week leading up to surgery and the night before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because Laslie had a very low rectal cancer (the lowest part of the large intestine), it was close to the sphincter muscle, which controls bowel movements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal, when oncologically possible, when the cancer is that low, is to preserve the sphincter so a person can have bowel movements on their own,\u201d says Dr. Rashidi. \u201cNot even five years ago, a case like Craig\u2019s would have required a permanent bag [to remove waste]. But with the tools and the technology we have now, we can preserve the muscle and he can have a normal life without a bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laslie\u2019s surgery \u2014 a robotic-assisted, ultra-low anterior resection, wherein the rectum is removed and the colon is attached to the anus \u2014 lasted four hours and is a type of surgery that requires exceptional precision.<\/p>\n<p>With assistance from the da Vinci robot, Laslie\u2019s procedure was less invasive, more precise, required fewer nights in the hospital and less pain medication in recovery than a traditional, open surgery.<\/p>\n<p>After surgery, he had one more round of chemo from November 2020 through February 2021, which consisted of a daily oral pill and infusion once every three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Although Laslie did require a temporary ileostomy bag while healing, the bag was removed a few months after chemo was completed, and he says he was physically recovered by June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad the cancer been more progressed, things would probably be different for me from a quality-of-life standpoint,\u201d adds Laslie. \u201cIf I had continued to wait, the cancer would have continued to grow, and I would have had fewer options from a surgical perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Disease-free and staying positive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout his cancer journey, Laslie, who lives with wife Tamra and two stepsons in Lacey, says, \u201cTamra is the reason I was able to get through this. She is my No. 1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCraig and his wife were very positive and very engaged during his treatment,\u201d says Dr. Rashidi. \u201cHe had a fantastic support system in her. She came with him to his appointments, took notes and asked questions. She was on top of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And since completing treatment, Laslie says he\u2019s had a very regimented surveillance plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been so great to have all these follow-up appointments; everyone cares so much,\u201d he says. \u201cI continue to be disease-free and receive positive reports at all my checkups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, at Laslie\u2019s follow-up colonoscopy last year, Dr. Heap told him everything looked great and also shared a comment he wasn\u2019t expecting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Heap said he could tell Dr. Rashidi had performed my surgery. He even brought in the other doctors in the practice to show them what an amazing job she had done,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was pretty special. I knew I had made the right decision choosing her as my surgeon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rashidi emphasizes the importance of getting screened and not ignoring symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColorectal cancer is treatable with great results, if you identify it soon enough,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you\u2019re young you don\u2019t think of cancer, but it\u2019s important to pay attention to symptoms and changes in your body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laslie\u2019s message echoes that of Dr. Rashidi: \u201cGet screened, even if you have slightest of symptoms. And don\u2019t self-diagnose like I did \u2014 talk to a medical professional.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women, excluding skin cancers.
