My Fatigue Was Actually Colon Cancer! - Maddee | Colon Cancer | The Patient Story

Maddee was experiencing fatigue, stomach pain, and unusual burning sensations, but initially dismissed these symptoms due to her active lifestyle. It wasn’t until she visited a naturopath for hormone management and learned she was severely anemic that the true cause came to light—a large tumor in her colon.

In this video, Maddee shares her journey from the initial diagnosis of stage 2 colon cancer to her decision to forego chemotherapy. She reflects on the emotional and physical challenges of recovery after surgery and the mental toll of living with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that increases her cancer risk.

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