A gynaecologist has opened up about being diagnosed with stage four cancer after only experiencing two mild symptoms.
Dr Lauren Juyia discovered she had stage four colon cancer after she booked herself in for an ultrasound. The doctor began experiencing fatigue in August last year but had initially put it down to just part of life - until it was paired with a sense of "pelvic heaviness", which made her think something was wrong.
However, the sense of heaviness turned into her feeling a "pelvic mass", and she booked herself in for an ultrasound. This is where it was found that she had larger-than-normal masses forming by her ovary, Irish Mirror reports.
