GREEN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — After an 18-month battle with Stage 4 cancer, Nathan Tyahur is officially cancer-free.
"You know, from six weeks to live to a year and a half later to being cancer free ... it's a miracle," Tyahur said.
Tyahur said after experiencing symptoms, doctors diagnosed him with colon cancer about a year and a half ago. His road to recovery was not easy, including multiple surgeries and chemotherapy.
"You know, there's good days and bad days, and you know, it's been some challenges," Tyahur said.
"I'm not dying in my 40's, it will be fine," Tyahur said.
