Colorectal cancer is an ailment that’s not typically associated with younger people.“I was 25 and I started experiencing symptoms,” said Vannora Hawkins, of Alexandria, Virginia. “It started out with abdominal pain. Then I started having vomiting and diarrhea. Then I started to have blood in my stool.”When she first went to the doctor for her symptoms, they couldn’t figure it out. She went through blood tests and X-rays.“They saw that I had an abscess growing in me,” she said. “They couldn’t really locate where it was, but they thought it was my appendix. “So, she was scheduled for an appendectomy. As she was being prepped for surgery, the doctors took another look and realized it was something else. A pathologist was called in, a biopsy was taken and she was prepped for a different surgery.“So once they opened me up and did a hemicolectomy, they diagnosed me at stage 4 because it had already went through my rectal wall and into my lymph nodes,” she said.She starte...
