Colon cancer warrior brings awareness after dying from the disease

Colon cancer is known to be an older person's disease. Typical patients are diagnosed in their 50's, 60's, and 70's. WFMY News 2's Julie Luck was diagnosed at 50 in late January but patients are getting younger. The late Black Panthers star, Chadwick Boseman, was diagnosed at 39. This is the story of a Triad colon cancer warrior who was younger than that.

Kenny and Christian Eisenhauer of Walkertown met in their early 20's. For Kenny, he knew she was the one early on in their relationship.

Christian worked hard to bring awareness to the disease before her death. In one of her final videos she shared the following message:

"That's what I'm going to focus on now. Spending time with the people that I love and making memories with them with the time I have left. It could be a couple of weeks. It could be a couple of months I'm not entirely sure but if I had to guess I would say it's probably not that long."
