25-year-old St. Pete teacher shares how cancer changed her self-image

Madison Baloy had been dealing with some stomach aches and losing weight. In late February, those stomach aches became too much. She called out sick to Shore Acres Elementary, where she teaches kindergarten, and headed to an urgent care.
"I went to urgent care thinking that I had a simple stomach bug," Baloy said. "That they were going to give me some anti-nausea and send me on my way. And it resulted in spending 10 days in the hospital and getting my diagnosis."
Her diagnosis is stage four adenocarcinoma with an occult primary. This means doctors are not able to detect where her cancer is coming from.
