Kelly started to notice blood in her stool just before her 50th birthday. She thought maybe it was menopause. At that point, the colonoscopy screening age had just changed to 45. Kelly kept getting dismissed as she struggled to find a doctor who would take her symptoms seriously. It was to the point where she was even dismissing the symptoms herself, again thinking it might be menopause.

She started to experience more frequent blood in her stool as well as cramping and bloating though, and finally, she found a doctor willing to rule out everything and anything.

A CT scan revealed a large mass in her sigmoid colon. After further testing with a colonoscopy, they discovered it had been a slow growing polyp for about 5-10 years. Kelly was then diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Soon after, she would undergo major surgery to remove the tumor as well as 12 rounds of chemotherapy.

I Thought It Was MENOPAUSE! - Kelly | Colon Cancer | The Patient Story
https://youtu.be/-8CzoC9jSz8

Tamara, a 50-year-old oncology nurse, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in January 2020 after an unexpected finding during her annual physical. Despite having no symptoms, she was found to be severely anemic, leading to further tests and ultimately the discovery of colon cancer that had spread to her liver and lungs.

In this cancer vlog, Tamara shares her journey from diagnosis to treatment, including her experience with genetic testing, battling through chemotherapy, and her determination to fight for her family. She emphasizes the importance of genetic testing for conditions like FAP (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis) and encourages others to advocate for their health.

Thank you, Tamara, for sharing your story to help others.

===========================
About IBS Treatment Center
===========================

Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his staff have successfully helped over 10,000 people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 2005.

Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are suffering alone at home and are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert (much different than a gastroenterologist), a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS.

Patients work with us from around the country and the world via our telemedicine services. Get back your life! Work with us via telemedicine. Visit the IBS Specialists at https://ibstreatmentcenter.com

Raquel first noticed symptoms like pencil thin stools, pain, bloating, and blood in her stool. She then started getting full quickly after eating. But when she finally went to the doctor, she was dismissed and told "it was just anxiety." She then ended up in the emergency room and was later diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, and it had spread to her liver, ovaries, and lungs.

In this cancer vlog, she aims to raise awareness about rising colorectal cancer rates in young people and the importance of listening to your body!
