Hi I was diagnosed with bowel cancer Jan 2016 at the age of 39. Was the most scary thing ever, I kept pushing for screening but kept being told I was to young to have bowel cancer even though my dad had it two years previous. I had blood and loose bowels and turned out I had an 8 cm tumour which I had removed, luckily no bag. I then had 6months of chemo thru drip and tablet form, it wasn't the best but I am glad I had it as I'm here to tell the story. Stay positive and good luck, you got this xx
