Pregnancy Led to Colon Cancer Diagnosis | Cleveland News
Description
A mom in Ohio, Katie Sheehan, called her newborn daughter a miracle—not just for arriving safely, but because her pregnancy uncovered life-threatening colon cancer. At 41, she battled severe nausea and fatigue dismissed as “just pregnancy,” until an MRI revealed a massive abdominal abscess. Surgery after her early delivery exposed Stage 3C colon cancer—a tumor that had perforated her colon and gone undetected by prior scans. Now in remission after six months of chemo, Katie is urging younger adults to demand screenings if symptoms persist, no matter their age. She’s using her story to empower others to advocate for their health—and is set to speak at an awareness event next month.
