From Stage 4 Breast Cancer to Colon Cancer: Sherri's Story | The Patient Story

Prior to her colon cancer diagnosis, Sherri noticed some symptoms like occasional rectal bleeding when going to the bathroom, which she assumed was just hemorrhoids.

It wasn't until a routine stool test as part of her stage 4 metastatic breast cancer workup detected traces of blood that further testing was done. Doctors then discovered a precancerous polyp and abnormality in her rectum and she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.
