'I never in a million years thought that it was a symptom of cancer,' Bailey McBreen told Newsweek.
Everyone hopes for a memorable vacation, but Bailey McBreen, now 25, will always look back on her 2021 trip to Nashville as the time when her early cancer symptoms began.
At the start of 2023, she added abdominal pain to her growing list of symptoms. But as they were all manageable and didn't seem gravely concerning, McBreen toldshe thought it was IBS . She continued to look after her body by eating healthily and working out five times a week, hoping her body would heal itself in time.
"Once my symptoms progressed to this level over that week, I knew I needed to go to the hospital despite the clean scans. At the hospital, they did routine labs, and everything came back normal, but at the last minute the ER doctor ordered another CT scan just to be safe." However, many of these symptoms can be a result of a number of other health problems, making colon cancer hard to diagnose. If there is concern over possible colorectal cancer, individuals may undergo a colonoscopy, CT scan, biopsy, ultrasound or protein tests.
"A tumor developing in these areas often has no symptoms and they can start as small growths that the products of digestion can pass by without obstruction," Landau said."However, if the tumor grows, various things can occur. The tumor can bleed, and sometimes patients will notice blood, other times the bleeding is slow enough that one won't see it.
