My Gas Smelled Different - Jelena | Colorectal Cancer | The Patient Story

Jelena first noticed her colon cancer symptoms like different smelling gas and blood in her stool, but she thought it was from new probiotics. But even as the bleeding continued months later, doctors suspected things like diet changes or age. It wasn’t until a colonoscopy revealed a large tumor and she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

She shares how despite being young and healthy, she knew something wasn't right in her body! In this cancer vlog, she talks about the importance of advocating for yourself and paying attention to symptoms and pushing for answers.
