My COLON CANCER Symptoms: I had Stomach Pain & Bloating (Stephanie's Story) | The Patient Story

Stephanie started getting stomach pains, bloating and felt run down. She was brushed off by doctors who said she was too young for cancer and put her on birth control. Her symptoms then got worse to the point where she felt she couldn't even eat. She then went to the ER, later got an endoscopy and was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

In this conversation, she talks about the frustration of not feeling listened to and how important it is to fight for answers and advocate for yourself.
