A diagnosis of stage 4 colorectal cancer can come as a shock, as it did for Joe Faratzis, a 28-year-old man who is now reflecting on his health journey at age 34. His experience highlights the crucial importance of recognizing early cancer warning signs and being attentive to changes in your body.
The Early Signs He Overlooked
Faratzis, known for his work as a producer at TMZ, admits that he dismissed initial symptoms for months, assuming they were due to less serious issues. Starting in 2019, he ignored the signs until a colonoscopy finally revealed the truth. Today, Faratzis urges everyone to take early screenings seriously and listen to their bodies for any potential signs of cancer.
