In this cancer vlog, Shannon shares how her first colon cancer symptoms included severe abdominal pain after eating. Initial tests found an inflamed gallbladder, which was removed, but the pain persisted. Further testing then showed a mass in her colon and she was diagnosed with stage 2A colon cancer at 29.
Shannon underwent a colon resection to remove the tumor. Genetic testing confirmed she had Lynch syndrome, putting her at high risk for other cancers. She now follows an intensive screening protocol to monitor for cancer recurrence and new tumors.
She shares how she found support, encourages other patients to learn as much as possible and take it moment by moment, knowing you are not alone.
