Blood in Stool - Ananda | Colorectal Cancer | The Patient Story
Ananda knew something wasn't right when noticed blood in her stool after the birth of her son in 2014. Even though her symptoms got worse, doctors dismissed her concerns as hemorrhoids for years. It wasn't until 6 years later, she was able to get a colonoscopy, which revealed a large rectal tumor. She was then diagnosed with stage 3B rectal cancer at 44.
In this cancer vlog, she opens up about the importance of listening to your body and advocating for yourself even when doctors minimize your symptoms.
