I started feeling stomach pain during the Christmas season of 2014, but I felt sure it was related to heartburn. By New Year’s, however, I had developed changes in my urine and bowel movements.

I quickly scheduled an appointment with my primary care doctor, who had previously scheduled blood work for me.
