Dania, a 35yearold mother of three, shares her story of being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. At first, Dania didn't have alarming cancer symptoms. She had dealt with stomach issues for years, like feeling bloated and constipated after eating certain foods.

It wasn't until a Saturday in September 2022 when she felt a strange stomach pain after a wedding that didn't go away. After a week of discomfort, tests at the ER revealed a large colon tumor and she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. She then began immunotherapy with Keytruda.

Dania hopes her story motivates others, especially young people, to advocate for their health.
