I was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer in my 40s – the only sign was a problem millions suffer everyday

Shawn Michael, a 48-year-old father of one, posted a YouTube video in which he opened up of his bowel cancer diagnosis and  health condition, which has since been seen by over 100,000 people.

Sadly, what he believed was a simple constipation turned out to be a bowel cancer that has since spread to other of his organs. Michael, however, believes his genetics and general good health would give him a “fighting chance” following the treatments he’s been receiving.

Michael experienced troubles passing stools in October 2024 and reached to some over-the counter pills, but when nothing worked, he visited a doctor.

He was sent home with a treatment, but still, something didn’t feel right and he could feel there was something inside his stomach, the Daily Mail reported.
