In 2012, two weeks after Dr. Dustin Deming started his dream job treating and researching gastrointestinal cancers at UW Carbone Cancer Center, he was diagnosed with his specialty: colorectal cancer. The cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, making his prognosis grim. Deming was 31, with a 3-year-old son and 6-week-old daughter. He had no family history of cancer. After surgery and chemotherapy, he is doing well today, with a much better prognosis.
