A woman in Idaho who thought she had gained weight related to menopause discovered she actually had a life-threatening tumor inside of her.
"My stomach was like a rock," Brenda Cridland told local television station KTVB. "I noticed I was gaining weight, and I was not feeling good, but I didn't think anything about it."
After Cridland eventually went to her doctor, a CAT scan showed she had a 50-pound benign tumor that had been growing inside her for years and had displaced some of her organs.
