No One Fights Alone: Finding Hope After a Terminal Cancer Diagnosis

When 26-year-old Cody Towler walked into an emergency room for an unrelated issue, he never expected to walk out with a stage four colorectal cancer diagnosis that would transform his life forever. Despite his prognosis, Cody radiates a remarkable resilience that defies medical expectations.

After enduring eleven brutal rounds of chemotherapy, over twenty sessions of radiation, and receiving the devastating news that he had only six to twelve months to live, Cody leaned deeper into his faith.

The heart of Cody's story isn't just about fighting cancer—it's about finding purpose and connection during life's darkest moments. After working as an EMT, he found himself in a dispatch position at Centra where colleagues became family, supporting him through every setback. Despite needing a colostomy, Cody continued living fully—going to the beach, working, and refusing to hide away. His message to fellow cancer patients resonates with powerful simplicity: find happiness, surround yourself with encouragers, and never give up. 

"If no one's there for you, I will be," he offers, embodying his belief that no one should fight alone. For anyone facing seemingly impossible medical odds, Cody's journey serves as a powerful reminder that diagnoses don't define destinies.
