Collin Pace was 18 years old when he found out that he only had a month to live.
“So when I was 16 I lived here in Springfield, Virginia, going to Lake Braddock High School. Started to get sick, you know, thought it was the flu, thought it was colds, just constantly having problems,” he said in a Summit Church D.C. video.
Between the ages of 17 and 18, Pace was “constantly back and forth in and out of hospitals” and had gone through “several different procedures” and “exploratory surgeries chasing down the symptoms.”
“I would have lots of issues from breathing where my heart would race and then it would bottom out and actually get extremely slow. Basically living in a day-to-day pain cycle,” he explained.
Pace said that growing up his mom “always made a big point” to always make sure they were always in church, since he was five years of age.
“We were always active in our church, we were always participating or even helping out a lot inside of our church. So we had a lot of prayer inside of our church, was in constant communication with the pastors there and the members there,” he said.
After sitting down with the oncologist and getting “extra tests and procedures,” Pace received some devastating news.
He was diagnosed with “Stage four CS” and said the doctor told him “it had already metastasized at this point.”
“So what that means is Cancer cells had already broken off from the original tumor and had formed throughout most of the rest of your body,” Pace explained in tears. “So you actually had several tumors spread throughout your body and it was constantly in your bloodstream.”
