Hi everyone
I was given the biggest scare of my life last summer when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 29.
I woke up one morning in excruciating pain and collapsed on my bedroom floor I immediately rang my father and told him what was happening and he told me to ring for an ambulance. I was rushed to hospital and all the checks were done. Thats when I was given the devastating news that I had a cancerous tumour in my bowel an emergency operation was performed and I was in the critical care unit for 2.5 weeks before I was moved to a general ward. I have completed my gruelling six months of chemotherapy in february this year and recently had my first appointment with my surgeon who is happy with my progress. I would like to hear from people around the same age as me who have gone through the same thing.
