A gynaecologist who discovered her own stage four cancer has said she was only experiencing two mild symptoms at the time. Dr Lauren Juyia found she had stage four colon cancer after she booked herself in for an ultrasound. Dr Juyia was soon diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. In late March, Dr Juyia underwent one more surgery to remove an inactive tumour, and so far, tests have shown she has "no evidence of disease." In the UK, bowel cancer screening is available to anyone aged 60 to 74 and is currently being expanded to also include everyone between 50 and 59.
