Stage 4 cancer brought Mike and Carole together at Cologuard Classic February 27, 2021
Inspiring story of stage 4 cancer and love
On the morning of the Cologuard Classic’s first round at Omni Tucson National, Mike Mancini hit the ceremonial opening tee shot. A stage 4 cancer survivor, Mike’s journey to this point introduced him to a special friend who helped shape the man he is now.
Mike was 42 years old when he was diagnosed with cancer. A part-time certified personal trainer and fitness instructor, he was healthy and fit when he got severe abdominal cramping at lunch one day. He went to the hospital, and after getting a CT scan, was sent home with some medication after being told it was just constipation.
