NBC News correspondent Antonia Hylton has been noticing stomach issues for 2 years, but dismissed them as a result of constant travel for work. "I travel, I'm on planes (and) maybe I don't have the best diet. But I love what I do, so it's worth it and I'm not going to let these symptoms hold me back." She knew black people have the highest rate of colon cancer in the US, and had a family history of colon cancer, so she went to a specialist for a colonoscopy. Her doctor discovered a polyp that turned out to be a neuroendocrine tumor.

"I love my job. I worked hard here at NBC, and I'm not going to stop doing that. But I've learned the lesson that I really need to put my health first and not push these things off."

Hylton had a series of procedures to remove tissue and screenings to see if the cancer had spread. The last can showed she is all clear.
