When 31-year-old dad Chris Kirt noticed blood in his stool, he brushed it off. No pain, no panic — just a quiet worry in the back of his mind. But that “painless bleeding,” he later said, was the red flag that saved my life.
“I knew in my heart it was cancer,” Chris told his followers. Months of ignored cramps and irregularity led to a devastating diagnosis: stage 2 bowel cancer. He was only 31, newly engaged, and the father of three.
Doctors removed a third of his bowel, and against the odds — Chris survived. “I’ve learned to fight for my own health,” he said. “No one is too young to get bowel cancer.”
Now in remission, he’s using his story to warn others: Don’t wait. Don’t ignore what feels off. A simple check could save your life — just like it saved his.
