Michael Groves thought he had appendicitis.
In January 2021, he went to the emergency department with abdominal pains, but after testing, medical staff ruled it out and he went home.
A couple of days later, Groves, who lives in Ottawa, saw blood in his stool, so he told his family doctor.
Both the pain and bleeding stopped, but she decided to schedule the 49-year-old for a colonoscopy for that April to be on the safe side.
“The idea that it could be colon cancer, that never came to mind,” Groves said in an interview.
He was put under for the procedure and when he woke up, the gastroenterologist told him he had a five-centimetre tumour.
Groves was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer. It had spread to two lymph nodes.
