Doctors increasingly see people contracting colon cancer before the recommended screening age of 45. We meet a wife and husband who were both diagnosed with it, Kacie Peters and Erik Stanley, of Denver. They juggle chemo, hospitalizations, and parenting. We also hear from oncologist Dr. Christopher Lieu, of the University of Colorado Cancer Center. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
