A 24-year-old woman who believed she was “too young” for cancer has shared her heartbreaking story. Meagan Meadows noticed tiny traces of blood in her stool but dismissed it as stress or diet.

Her friends urged her to see a doctor. That checkup saved her life. Doctors discovered stage three colon cancer. “I just thought, I’m only 24, there’s no way,” Meagan said. “I almost canceled my appointment.”

She has already undergone surgery to remove part of her colon. Now she faces chemotherapy, which may affect her ability to have children. “If I had known so many young people were being diagnosed, I would have taken it more seriously,” she admitted.

Meagan is speaking out to encourage others: “No one wants to talk about their poop, but it’s always better to get checked.” Her loved ones are raising funds to help with medical bills and fertility treatments.

Her story is a powerful reminder: never ignore even the smallest health warning signs. Could checking early save a life you love?
