She started to feel fatigued

A gynaecologist is warning others about symptoms after discovering her own stage four colon cancer. in August 2022, Dr Lauren Juyia, 38, began feeling fatigued but thought it was just down to life until she paired it with a sense of "pelvic heaviness."

By September 2022, Dr Juyia was undergoing surgery to have the masses removed after they had spread to her ovaries, uterus, omentum, appendix, and even her abdominal area. Despite the quick growth of the masses, she still was not experiencing any severe symptoms except pelvic heaviness, and her only other symptom was fatigue.

She began six months of chemotherapy treatments, and during this time she continued to work in order to take her mind off her health battle. Dr Judia described helping her patients as being "therapeutic" for her and helped her "forget [she] was ill".
