Single mother Radwah Oda from Texas is raising awareness about colon cancer after being diagnosed with stage four. She shared her story in a viral TikTok video, which gained over 2.3 million views, highlighting warning signs she initially ignored.

One of the first signs was a change in bowel habits. “My stool started becoming more pencil shaped,” she said, thinking it was just constipation. She also noticed small amounts of blood, assuming it was hemorrhoids—another commonly dismissed symptom. Radwah added, “Each time I would use the restroom, I would feel like I still needed to go.”

She experienced abdominal pain beneath her right breast, which she thought was caused by an uncomfortable bra. In reality, it was a sign the cancer had spread to her liver. “The pain didn’t go away,” she explained, urging others not to ignore persistent discomfort.

Radwah also suffered from extreme fatigue. “I would still need to take a nap a few times during the day and nothing really helped,” she recalled. Chronic tiredness, despite rest, is another warning sign.

Her message is clear: “Take your health seriously.” Unusual or ongoing symptoms should never be ignored, as early detection could save lives.
