Bowel Cancer Survivor: 'I want people to learn from my experience'

Bowel cancer survivor Suzie Smith shares her story - from getting diagnosed to being declared cancer-free.

Research suggests that four in 10 people cannot name a symptom of bowel cancer, the second biggest cause of cancer death in the UK. This April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

Can we get a health service where we can ACTUALLY get an appointment with a doctor for us to check for cancer?

Amazing news for that young woman and very brave for sharing her story.
Sky news - put the lady first and don’t cut her off like that at the end! I’m sure she was told there is a time to stick to but that was just rude to such a brave woman.

Well done to Suzie for sharing your story and raising awareness- so so important.

I’ve had extreme tiredness and unexplainable weight loss over the last 6 months. Also get an occasional unexplainable terrible taste in my mouth. By chance my GP surgery are inviting me to do a bowel cancer screening. I’m definitely doing it after watching this. Somethings not right with me.

We are all going to die from something😮

[rbublitz]

Just be aware if she doesn't change her diet and keeps eating sugary carbs her cancer will be back

[jtv]

Doctors with dismissive atitudes & trivialising patient symptoms should not be doctors

[KingsguardRP]

Its all lifestyle. Diet, drugs like alcohol. Take care of yourselves.

[thecraigmachine]

Probably due to the terrible diet many people in the UK eat.

[bobhope]

Hmm. Right around when the vaccines came out. Think she got one?

[ElanaMccullum]

UNFORTUNATELY IT ALMOST ALWAYS COMES BACK...
