She was diagnosed with liposarcoma, a rare form of tumor that, in most cases, does not present any symptoms until the tumor grows large and invades other organs or tissues, according to the NIH.
Shoultz's blood work from her doctor's appointment came back normal, so she said she kept changing her diet to see if she had an allergy that was causing her stomach to bloat.
By August, nearly eight months after first noticing the growth, Shoultz was referred to a gastroenterologist by a colleague at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital, where she works in public relations. After several tests that did not find anything definitively wrong, Shoultz underwent a CT scan in late September.
Doctors also had to remove Shoultz's right kidney and part of her adrenal gland. Because the cancer had not spread to other parts of her body, she did not have to undergo further treatment, like chemotherapy or radiation.
