- After months of unanswered pain, a Philly woman learned she had Stage 3 colon cancer. Now she’s pushing for equitable care
Janaylon Wright, a 29-year-old Philadelphia woman, experienced persistent abdominal pain that was misdiagnosed multiple times before being diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. After four medical visits and five months of unresolved symptoms, she received a correct diagnosis at Jefferson Einstein Medical Center Elkins Park, which later closed as a general hospital. Wright now advocates for equitable healthcare access.
