Hi Liz here after a few stressful months it all started with me buying my husband an Apple Series 6 watch for Christmas it came up with AF (Atrial Fibrillation) so Doc sent him for a blood test it came back anaemia then a CT scan doc said a bleeding Hernia so another blood still aneamic one night my hubby couldnt sit still he kept getting up and walking around his legs were bothering him so phoned doc who sent him for another blood test and at teatime the doc phoned to tell him he had to go to hospital the next morning for a blood and iron transfusion the next day he was booked for a Colonoscopy they found cancer in his colon but they don’t think it has spread he goes into hospital on 1st April to remove it goodness knows when it would have been found and all because of a watch he had a heart echo last week and his watch gave the same reading as the heart echo and the man who did it kept saying the watch was amazing so a very stressful time till 1st of April thanks for listening xx
Hi
Welcome to the forum but I have to say that’s the first time I have ever read of a watch saving a life ! How incredible that your gift has ended up being so instrumental in leading to an early detection . It’s so hard for him to have to go through all of that for your husband but I am so glad you both acted on what you saw !
I wish him every success with his upcoming surgery . Is he able to have keyhole surgery?
Certainly a first for our forum and one to feedback to Apple !! It’s quite a story !
Take care ,
Court
