30th January 2021 is a day that myself and my loved ones will not forget in a hurry, this was the day I was told I had what looked like a tumour in my bowel, but further investigations would need to be carried out to see if it was cancerous.
My name is Peter Brown and this is my bowel cancer story. The reason for me sharing this is to raise awareness of bowel cancer first of all. Secondly if anything I put in my story can help just one person whether it be someone going through bowel cancer or supporting someone with bowel cancer, then that will be fantastic. Equally if someone sees my story and reads how I was physically before I went to get checked out, and it encourages them to go get checked out (and fingers crossed it is nothing for that person) then again that will be great.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
