NBC News correspondent Antonia Hylton is sharing for the first time that she was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, a neuroendocrine tumor.

As a journalist on the road, Hylton, 30, was used to waking up feeling out of sorts. But, about two years ago, she started having constant stomach issues.

Hylton tells TODAY.com that she recalls not being able to have a bowel movement for days, and when she finally was able to, “the pendulum swung in the other direction, almost like I couldn’t leave the bathroom.”

Knowing that Black people have the highest rate of colon cancer in the U.S. and that she has a family history of colon cancer, Hylton said, “I went to see a specialist who sent me for a colonoscopy.”
