Bowel Cancer at 32

So, was looking forward to 2016 being a great year, new job, new motorbike and heading towards a new house with my girlfriend of 12 years.  Then it turns out I had a squatter in my bowel, who I now refer to as the "squatter", an unwelcome guest that has put one hell of a downer on the year - my Cancer is quite severe, having gnome already spread to my Liver, the Primary is in the Bowel which makes it more treatable, but nonetheless, I still have one hell of a battle ahead of me - I am making a video log of how each day is going, please feel free to ask questions about what the whole process is like, and what I'm using as a source of strength - I know in the coming weeks some days will be good, and some not-so, the Log officially starts tomorrow but I have an introductory video to break the ice

  • Hello Dan. I just wanted to say how inspirational it is that you are producing a video log which I am sure will help so many other people to. My gran was an inspiration to all my family when she was diagnosed with myeloma, with an initially bad prognosis she managed to overwhelm professionals with her constant miraculous results! She lived to 80 and I believe this was down to her amazing outlook, determination and positive attitude. It truly made a difference and reading your post reminded me of her. Everyone she met seemed to catch her infectious positivity and I am sure your log will do the same, I will be sure to watch and wish you all the best. Amy
