A gynaecologist is warning others about symptoms after discovering her own stage four colon cancer. 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. Dr Juyia was eventually diagnosed with stage 4 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 the ages of 50 and 59.
