Woman reveals 5 colon cancer symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored

Statistics states that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in US, with 153,020 being diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and over 52,000 dying of it.

The American Cancer Society states that colorectal cancer starts in the colon. “Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps.”

While polyps are quite common and often noncancerous, some can turn into cancer over time.

A woman from Texas and a mother of one, Radwah Oda, opened up of her battle with colon cancer and warned of the symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored.

Posting on TikTok, she has urged the public to take their health more seriously.

Stool Changes

Oda explained that one of the first changed she experienced was that in her stool, which began to become more pencil-shaped. At first, she dismissed it as something not important, but later realized it was indeed a red flag she should have discussed with a medical professional.

Further, she noticed that her stool sometimes contained small amounts of blood, which she attributed to hemorrhoids, something that is often overlooked. She also mentioned, “Every time I used the bathroom, I felt like I still needed to go. I kept pushing and pushing, but nothing would come out,” describing a constant feeling of incomplete bowel emptying.

Unexplained pain

The mother of one explained that she started experiencing unexplained pain in her abdomen, a symptom most people battling colon cancer claim to have experienced.

With colon cancer, pain can spread as the disease advances. Oda first felt it under her right breast and thought, “I assumed my bra was too tight, even though it was only on one side.” This pain was actually a sign the cancer had reached her liver, highlighting the need to monitor unusual pain and seek medical attention when it persists.

Chronic fatigue

Oda shared that she had felt tired almost all the time, despite taking rests throughout the day. “I would still need to nap several times during the day, and nothing really helped,” she noted. 

Chronic fatigue is a common sign of more types of cancer.

In her other videos, Oda spoke of other symptoms she had experienced, including sudden weight loss and poor appetite.

“Until the doctors told me I had cancer, I blamed these symptoms on a ‘really bad stomach bug,’” she shared.

Raising Awareness

“If you have any of these symptoms, don’t worry, but go see a doctor,” she urged in her video.

What Prince Andrew will be known as after giving up his royal titles due to links to Jeffrey Epstein

By

-

Prince Andrew, King Charles’ brother, has once again drawn public attention amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most outspoken accusers. Giuffre, who took her own life in April 2025 at 41, had long alleged that Andrew sexually abused her when she was 17, claims he has consistently denied.

In her posthumous memoir, “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” Giuffre recounts her alleged 2001 encounter with King Charles’ younger brother, who she says had “long been known as the playboy of the royal family,” according to The Guardian.

“He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright,” she penned, claiming that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, pressured her into “servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy.”

Amid the renewed accusations, Prince Andrew released a statement, “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life. With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

He gave up the title Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, as well as his honors as Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order and Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.

While the dukedom cannot be removed without an Act of Parliament, he has pledged not to use it.

He, however, will continue to hold the title of Prince as he’s the son of Queen Elizabeth II. Removing it would require extraordinary constitutional measures.

Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, will no longer use her title and will go by Sarah Ferguson. The titles of their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will not be affected.

Meanwhile, Virginia Giuffre’s family renewed calls for Andrew to face accountability.

“We, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, believe that Prince Andrew’s decision to give up his titles is vindication for our sister and survivors everywhere,” they said.

They added, “Further, we believe it is appropriate for King Charles to remove the title of Prince.”

Andrew has consistently denied the allegations and previously settled a US civil case for a reported £12 million ($16 million) without admitting guilt. The controversy resurfaced after new evidence showed he maintained contact with Epstein and Maxwell, including multiple private jet trips and emails years after claiming the friendship had ended.

A Century-Old American Classic on the Edge: The Uncertain Future of Campbell’s Soup

By

-

Something unusual is brewing in the food industry, and it’s not in Campbell’s red-and-white cans. Whispers of financial strain, shareholder battles, and a declining appetite for processed foods have cast a shadow over one of America’s most beloved brands. Could the company that warmed kitchens for nearly two centuries be quietly preparing for a downfall? The signs are unsettling—and loyal fans might want to pay attention before it’s too late.

Campbell’s Soup, a household name in America for almost 200 years, is now facing one of the most difficult chapters in its history.

The company has been struggling to stay relevant as consumers increasingly prefer fresh, natural, and less-processed foods—an area far from Campbell’s traditional image. In an attempt to reinvent itself and expand into new markets, the company made several acquisitions, but these left it burdened with a massive $9 billion debt.

Adding to the turmoil, a bitter clash has erupted among its major stakeholders. The Dorrance family, who control about 40% of Campbell’s shares, have found themselves at odds with Daniel Loeb, a hedge fund manager holding 7% of the company through his firm Third Point. Loeb has been pressing for bold changes, including even rebranding the iconic red-and-white cans. His pushback led to a lawsuit accusing the company of mismanagement, sparking a very public corporate showdown.

Campbell’s dismissed Loeb’s proposals as “unoriginal and uninformed,” yet the pressure forced compromise.

In a recent move suggesting cracks in the resistance, Campbell’s agreed to add two board members recommended by Third Point. This signals that bigger changes may be coming as the brand scrambles to survive in a competitive, evolving food market.

The looming threat of closure carries heavy meaning—not only for Campbell’s loyal customer base but also for the broader food industry. For many families, the brand is more than soup—it’s nostalgia, tradition, and comfort. But its struggles highlight a growing consumer rejection of heavily processed products in favor of healthier, fresher alternatives.

🔹 Conclusion

Campbell’s future now hangs in the balance. Whether it adapts successfully or fades into history will depend on its ability to modernize without abandoning the traditions that made it an icon. This battle is bigger than one company—it reflects the food industry’s crossroads between convenience and health, tradition and innovation. Campbell’s story will serve as a powerful reminder of how even the strongest brands must evolve—or risk becoming relics of the past.

Tragic Household Accident Claims the Life of Young Child

Tragedy at Home: 12-Year-Old Died After Hidden Electrical Hazard Turns Deadly

What should have been a place of warmth and security has become the setting for a devastating and unimaginable loss.

A 12-year-old child has tragically died in their own home after a hidden electrical hazard delivered a fatal shock—transforming an ordinary day into a
nightmare no one saw coming.

Emergency services were called to the residence, where it was confirmed that the child had stepped on a live, faulty electrical connection. The surge was powerful, and despite immediate efforts to revive them, the child was pronounced dead shortly after the incident.

The sudden loss has shattered the family and sent shockwaves through the local community, where neighbors are grappling with the heartbreaking reality: a child’s life cut short by a danger that lay hidden within the walls of their home.

Authorities have opened a formal investigation to determine how the electrical fault occurred—and whether poor maintenance, outdated wiring, or negligence contributed to the tragedy. Safety experts warn that many households harbor unseen electrical risks: exposed wires, malfunctioning outlets, or aging systems that can go undetected until it’s too late.

This incident casts a harsh light on an often-overlooked threat. While homes are meant to protect, they can also conceal hazards that become deadly without regular safety checks and preventive action.

A Wake-Up Call for Every Household

The death of this child is not only a personal tragedy for one family—it’s a chilling reminder of how quickly safety can unravel when hidden dangers are left unaddressed. It urges every homeowner and tenant to take stock of their surroundings, to treat electrical safety as more than just a technical concern.

Inspections, proper repairs, and professional oversight aren’t just about compliance—they are about preventing unthinkable loss.

Conclusion

This heartbreaking loss serves as a solemn call to action. A child has died because of a hidden threat inside a place that should have been safe. While the investigation continues, one truth is already clear: vigilance saves lives.

For the grieving family, the pain is immeasurable. But for the broader community, their story is a powerful warning. Let this tragedy not be in vain. Let it be the moment we commit to ensuring our homes are truly safe—for ourselves, and for those we love most.

Can you spot the hidden dog? Only people with eagle eyesight can!

By
Monica Pop

Puzzles, riddles, optical illusions! Who doesn’t love these tricky brain challenges that make you think hard and let you test your intellectual skills as well as your vision? I know I enjoy them and never miss a chance to put my skills to test when I stumble upon any.

So, here we are. We have this fun spotting task that has been making rounds online for quite some time. So if you believe your eyesight is top-notch just give it a try.

The photo, which has first been shared on Reddit, shows a jumble of brown twigs and tangled brush and a dog is perfectly blended into the scenery. Though this sounds simple, most people scroll away in frustration before spotting it.

The photo lacks bright colors and movement, and nothing really points that “there’s an animal here!” Yet, a tiny spaniel dog is indeed there, hidden in plain sight, so perfectly camouflaged it almost looks painted into the background.

The image, captioned FindTheSniper, turned into a mini obsession among the Redditors.

So what makes this so difficult?

Well, it’s all about how our brains process what we see. We tend to skim for shapes and contrasts that match what we expect, and when something fits too well with its surroundings, our mind skips right over it. The more “ordinary” the chaos looks, the less likely we are to notice what’s actually there.

“I spent ages staring at it and thought it was just a trick photo,” one Redditor wrote.
“Even after the clue, I still couldn’t spot it. It drove me crazy,” another added.

Here’s a hint, start at the center and slowly scan left. If you’re patient, you’ll notice a faint outline. Next, look for a pair of sparkling eyes.

So, how good are your observation skills? Take a moment, look closely, and see if you can spot the dog without any hints. And if you, it’s not a big deal because you’re not the only one. Sometimes, the most obvious things are the easiest to miss.

The man asked for a few minutes to say goodbye to his dog — but suddenly, the vet noticed something unusual

By

There comes a time when animals become closer to us than people ever could. Honestly, this shouldn’t really come as a surprise, since their love is simple and completely unconditional, so having them in our lives and having to say goodbye to them is one of the hardest challenges a human can ever face.

As the man sat in the vet’s office, he struggled to accept the reality. His loyal dog of many years had only minutes left.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done, the vet claimed. The illness had taken its toll, and the kindest act was to end the dog’s suffering.

With tears in his eyes and unable to accept his dog’s destiny, the man asked for just a few precious minutes with his furry friend.

As he sat beside the dog, he held it close and whispered: “I’m so sorry, my friend. I love you and I wish I could have given you the life you deserved. I don’t know how I’ll move on without you.”

The dog, as if it understanding every word, rested its paws on his shoulders and pressed close. Then, something extraordinary happened. Its eyes cleared. It looked at the owner with a spark of life, let out a soft whine, and even managed to stand, nuzzling his face.

The vets were stunned. All of a sudden, the dog’s breathing steadied and its vitals improved. It was clear the dog’s strength had returned, if only briefly. The man hugged his friend tightly, hoping it was a sign. Maybe the illness had loosened its grip, even just for a moment.

The vets explained that sometimes, right before the end, animals show a sudden surge of energy. They decided to postpone the euthanasia, giving the dog a few more peaceful moments with its owner.

That night, the man never left his dog. It lay with its head in his lap, breathing calmly, finally at peace. And quietly, naturally, without pain or intervention, it passed away.

What that precious soul left behind was an unbreakable bond.

Doctors were about to turn off the young officer’s life support when his dog was allowed to say goodbye — and something unexpected happened

By
Monica Pop
-

The officer had been in intensive care for over a month, and the diagnosis was awful. He sustained an extensive brain injury and fell into a coma.

Despite the doctors’ efforts, the situation was getting hopeless day by day. And then, one day, the final decision was made: if there was no further improvement, they would take him off life support. The family had been informed already.

Before going through that painful action, the medical personnel allowed the officer’s loyal friend — a little K9 officer named Lari — to visit and say goodbye. Though Lari was quite young, he had already worked with his handler in the K9 unit. They spent together long nights, tough shifts, and developed a trust that could not be broken.

When Lari entered the clean and sterile room, he took very slow steps, with his ears back, and his big eyes full of confusion and concern. However, once he saw his partner, everything changed. The puppy stood still, and then fixed his gaze on the familiar face.

All of a sudden, a loud and sharp bark could be heard. It looked as though Lari was trying to wake his partner up. He then jumped onto the bed, smelled the officer’s face and wagged his tail.

But Lari didn’t stop there, he kept barking, licking the man’s hands, and then he lay on his chest. And at that moment — something miraculous happened. The monitor showed a piercing beep. The screens showed the heartbeat going up.

“What is that?” the nurse screamed while rushing through the door to the room. The doctors followed and were stunned. The man’s chest was going up and down — his first breaths on his own in more than a month.

A moment later, his eyelids fluttered. His fingers twitched. The puppy barked with joy and nuzzled his cheek, as if calling him fully back to life.

No one could explain what had happened. Maybe it was the familiar scent, the sound of his dog’s bark, or the deep bond between them that reawakened something inside him, maybe, an emotion, or simply a will to live.

The officer was weak but conscious. It even looked like he tried to smile.

The doctors exchanged stunned glances, and one finally murmured, “Well… I guess letting him say goodbye wasn’t such a bad idea after all.”

Unrecognizable Julia Roberts Dives Into Emotional Role in New Movie

By
Bryan Seal

Julia Roberts’ Stunning Transformation for August: Osage County

Julia Roberts recently left onlookers doing a double-take—not for her usual red-carpet glamour, but for a transformation so complete it blurred the line between actress and character. On the set of August: Osage County in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the 44-year-old star shed her iconic Pretty Woman elegance for something raw, unpolished, and emotionally searing.

A Role That Demands Vulnerability

Roberts, cast as Barbara Weston, adopted a look far removed from her signature Hollywood polish. Loose-fitting blue jeans, layered white and cream tops, and natural, unstyled brunette hair replaced her usual curls and couture. The appearance mirrored the emotionally charged
world of a fractured family grappling with secrets, loss, and tension.

One particularly intense scene involved Barbara and Ewan McGregor’s Bill Fordham walking to a boat dock to confront a grim reality: identifying a dead body with the local sheriff present. Roberts’ performance was tearful, raw, and utterly convincing, with McGregor offering steady support as her character broke down.

Behind the Scenes: Laughter Amid the Drama

Even amidst heavy, tension-filled scenes, the atmosphere between takes was lighter.

Julia Roberts often shared laughs with co-star Julianne Nicholson, whose modest wardrobe—blue flared trousers and a simple ponytail—fit seamlessly into the film’s subdued aesthetic.

The ensemble cast is star-studded: Meryl Streep portrays the formidable Violet Weston, and Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the role of Little Charles Aiken. Interestingly, Renée Zellweger and Andrea Riseborough were initially considered for roles, with Riseborough stepping aside due to scheduling conflicts, making way for Juliette Lewis. Abigail Breslin ultimately secured the part of Jean Fordham after an audition that also included Chloe Grace Moretz.

Crafting Emotional Authenticity

Roberts’ transformation is more than skin-deep. Her commitment to Barbara Weston required not just a physical makeover but a profound emotional investment. The actress inhabited the character’s pain, anger, and vulnerability, demonstrating the skill that has made her one of Hollywood’s most respected talents.

Conclusion

Julia Roberts’ work on August: Osage County is a masterclass in dedication and versatility. From Hollywood glamour icon to a raw, grieving mother, she embodies a character so convincingly that audiences forget the star behind the role. Coupled with a powerhouse ensemble and a mix of intense drama and behind-the-scenes camaraderie, the film promises an emotionally gripping experience that showcases the transformative power of performance.
