- Through the Get Personal campaign we are determined to make real change happen for people diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer.
This is Stacey's story.

Don’t ever let doctors put you off, or say “you’re too young for cancer.” Even children sometimes get cancer. If Greg had insisted on a colonoscopy when his symptoms first arrived, he would have been diagnosed early stage. Early stage colon cancer is highly curable. Be your own advocate! Push for every diagnostic test that applies to your symptoms, no matter your age!
Good advice! Putting your concerns and asking for tests in writing is not so easy to brush aside. What a patient says to a health professional and what a health professional records might not be the same.
I work with breast cancer patients at a hospital, and I've seen a 17-year-old with breast cancer. Someone who's 17 doesn't even have fully-developed breasts, yet it still happened. Cancer can definitely happen to anyone.
The problem is some doctors don't listen to you, I have symptoms over 2 months now and I was told they cannot do anything, it doesn't depend on them but the system
What a brilliant, lovely, strong and brave woman! I am so sorry that the lack of consideration by the NHS caused the situation to be so dire for her partner and all in her family.
Now I'm 55 years old, at age of 23 years old. I went to the bathroom had a bowel movement with blood second time that day it happen again. I set an appt with my primary doctor and then 2 weeks later I had a colonoscopy. The doctor removed 2 polyps 2 cm long. Until this day I go every three years and then 5 years. I went to get my colonoscopy and found 3 tiny polyps in 40's. Lately I'm going every 2 years. You are never too young and I thank my doctor who didn't take any chances by guessing. Listen to your body and don't allow doctors to take a guess, you are your own advocate!!
Was there a lot of blood?
You're right about everything you said but also be careful what you eat that causes cancer don't drink coffee or smoke cigarets these are the name things that make: cancer
@@catlove111 coffee? Not at all. Don't spread falsehoods
What a dreadful hospital experience, I can't imagine how terrible you felt having to leave your Husband after such awful news. I'm so sorry.
I'm 40 was experiencing stomach pains since 2021 and vomiting begged the hospital for scans as you know something isn't right no scans done told I had GERD was given tablets for stomach cramps, was finally admitted to hospital December 2022 as I had a lump in my stomach they suspected appendicitis CT scan done which showed mass I have stage 3c bowel cancer had my right part of bowel removed and start adjuvant chemotherapy tomorrow, Dr's and hospitals need to listen more to patients and stop dismissing symptoms its so frustrating that so many of us are waiting years for a diagnosis which for some is too late
Thank you so much Stacey, live in the moment, and appreciate today!! God bless you and your family!
Stacey's courage and perseverance is most inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your honesty
Really good advice. My heart goes out to you. Praying for miracles for your family.
This is so sad, I’ve just read online that Greg sadly passed away last year, so sorry 😢
God bless you and your family. You are amazing...
Praying for you and your family🙏🏼❤️
May God be with you. Amen ❤😢
Im so sorry you’ll be kept in my prayers 💕
Thanks for sharing your story, god bless your family. It’s really sad how most doctors don’t have bedside manners.
God bless you and your family.🙏
Excellent video because I believe your voice speaks for a very high percentage of patients + says what most feel. I am now a retired nurse who believe that many fear hospital because once you become a patient you give up all control of your body to Dr's + nurses. I found it made a big difference in my pt's anxiety level if I told them that before a procedure is done we will describe what the test is, why we're doing it, how long it'll take, + what you should feel. I encourage them to ask questions. Each hospital has general rules but most are up to each nurse + I know that I would have no problem at all allowing you to sleep on a cot to stay with your husband the day you got the upsetting diagnosis right before visiting hours ended. And usually when a Dr is telling a pt life changing bad news he will do it in a bigger room, have the team of Dr's present to answer any + all questions, + have what they call a "family meeting"- close family members who want to be present are (usually the pt, spouse, pt's parents).
Each pt visit to hospital is so important because how they view it overall stays with them + is used by the pt as a reference for future hospital stays. But it shouldn't! When in hospital ask questions about procedures. Some pt's find it helps to use the Internet to look up questions such as "what to expect during a hospital stay", etc
Gosh I can relate to everything Stacy says. My husband was too diagnosed when we had 3 small children.
Excellent, compassionate and encouraging message! You have saved many lives, and hopefully alerted the medical profession to not be so cavalier! PLEASE!
your PATIENT with these intense symptoms. Surely saving a life is worth the price of a scan!
Praying for you and family, from Canada
My prayers will go to you and your husband and your family
thank you for this, I am 37 now and my partner is 44, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that spreads to the lymph nodes and his brain, it is heart breaking to see your partner in pain and that our lives became more uncertain.
Take care everyone!
I was diagnosed with Rectal cancer in December 2017 entirely as a result of the bowel screening test. I had no prior symptoms and felt really well but after an irregular test result a colonoscopy revealed a T2 tumour. My rectum was removed in January of this year and I had a stoma. The care and help I received was FIRST CLASS and I was fortunate enough to have a consultant surgeon who explained the risks and the process and gave me the encouragement to tackle this problem head on. The stoma was reversed in May and last week my consultant gave me the “all clear”. I know how fortunate I have been - I have had total support from my wife and friends and family and friends have been there for us. My message is to anyone who receives a test kit - TAKE THE TEST AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE PROCESS - I believe that it saved my life.
Did you have any blood in stool or rectum?

@@AK-fk8zo Hi. Absolutely NO symptoms, I felt fine and had got over thyroid cancer 2 years previously. Nothing showed up on follow up tests for that treatment although I have been told that there was no connection between the 2 tumours. It is now just over 5 years since the reversal of my ileostomy and all is well - confirmed by colonoscopy. I cannot praise my medical team more - they were the best.
Stacy- you have provided a wonderful video about what millions of spouse's sadly are forced to deal with every day.
There are so many happy couples in love, working great jobs, + raising beautiful children until the day that 1 spouse, like your Rob, gets a diagnosis like he did.
I'm so sorry that it took them 4 years to diagnose him.....that should never happen!
I agree with you as far as how your life suddenly changes + I can't even begin to understand how hard that must be to manage both physically + emotionally.
You seem to be one blessed with such a strong personality + willpower.
I'll remember your post for a long time to remind myself of what you, and numerous other families, are faced with whenever I whine about my minuscule ones. I wish you the very best.❤️
Wouldn't it be great if the government came up with ways to help families like yours that are going through really hard times???
I was 57 when I was diagnosed with colan cancer and am in rimision now just over 2 years now, so I know what you and your husband are going through God bless you all. Xx
What symptoms did you have?
And for how long.
🙏 praying and positive vibes
Yes, what were your symptoms. Hope you are still well. 🙏❤🙏
I was diagnosed at 57, stage IV, doing chemo for as long as I can

My prayers goes to you and Greg. God will listen and cure this terrible disease. Hope he is well and keep fighting. Look for good oncologists.
Oh shut up with the bloody stupid Bible bashing ! It is the LAST thing people want !
El de pouu
she gave some very good advise
OMG my heart goes out to you I'm crying while I'm watching this you've been through so much I feel you were both let down by the NHS.
I'm back 7 months later I've had 2 colonoscopys 2 suspicious polyps removed they couldn't find the third one so now I have to go for a third colonoscopy all within 3 months. I've been going to the doctors for 5 years. They have tried to look for cancer in other areas of my body but not my bowel. I've lost a lot of weight so I'm scared of the results because my doctor did think a year ago that I had cancer but they just couldn't find it. I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome four years ago.
The NHS actually LET DOWN ALL four members of my family and the all died from cancer. I have NO intentions of ever using the NHS for myself ever again.
The NHS is a pile of crap my mother in hospital with lung problem they don’t know what it is may be COPD MAY be emphysema..loads of bloody CT scans etc just stressing mum out..
@@ilovesammy3657 It took Nhs doctors 6 years to diagnose my mother of Emphysema she was 36 when she first become breathless with her age they did not think it was that but this was in 1970s now they would look for it. My mother died at 46 years old 5 years after diagnoses.
@@pam164 sadly my mum died after an overdose of morphine by the hospital...
So sad! They said the same thing regarding my Dad. They told him that it had spread and their was nothing they could do and that they could extend his life for a year with treatment, but without he had 6 months. He chided not to be sick on Chemo. He passed with in the 6 months that they gave him and he was 65.
You are very strong babe go forward no look back we stand up and enjoy every day ok.
1 month ago my dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer. We lost my mom 3 years ago so it has been tough - it was like someone punched me in the stomach. 2 weeks later (this past nov 27th 2018) my husband was diagnosed with late stage rectal cancer. I know the shock, I know that pain as a wife and mother, we havea 7 year old little girl.. It is so, so, so hard. My thoughts are with you guys, sending love and light.
Hi iam so sorry for you're situation god bless my mam is 66 & this second in hospital coz of bowel cancer she said yesterday she does not want to be resuscitated I have been in tears xxxx
hi , i really understand the tough situation,,really big shock in the life,i wish you strengh and power and happiness,well regarding my story i should say that my father is 65 years old,without any history in the family three months ago without any sign and symptoms he just did a follow up colonoscopy bcz he did it also 10 years ago and they found a polyp which had turned into adenocarcinoma and it was a big shock,he was completely well,anyway he went under surgery with left partial colectomy,and the pathologists later told that it was a low stage and does not need any more therapy ,so he went home and finished his recovery period,but two weeks ago he did an abdominal ct scan and they found two small nodules in his liver and we were really shocked bcz the pathology report after the colorectal surgery said there very low stage was no lymph node involvement ,no vascular involvement and even margins of tumor free of tumor cells without any invasion to muscular layer of colon , and even the abdominal ct scan was normal before the surgery and just in 3 months after surgery some lesions appiered in liver according to the newer ct scan,really not understandable,again without any sign and symptoms,so he did a new virtual colonoscopy once again and also endoscopy,it was normal without the recurrence of primary tumor,anyway according to the oncologist comment,he started the chemotherapy since last week,the oncologist told that he needs 4 times chemotherapy and then they will do again ct scan and then second surgery for partial hepatectomy,i am really sad these days ,im completely non functional but i give always positive energy to familly,but inside myself i feel very sad..anybody has any comments or the same experience in his family?well the good news is the lesions are in good place of liver which are resectable,i appreciate if any body gives me some advices or comments for this issue,many thanks
do you have a gofundme account?
Joanne Hendry my mum would be the same if she was diagnosed with cancer and they are doing tests on her for it. She’s in her own words, a coward and gives up easily. I am dreading Monday and the test result.
Prayers sent to you both
He passed away on September 30, 2021. This is Stacy's statement on is death: My beautiful boy greg died this afternoon. He was with his brother and cousin and surrounded by stories and laughter of his childhood. He was calm and gently slipped away into the stars.
I spent last night alone in bed with him. His energy was far too big for his human body now, I could feel this. I opened the window and told him to go and be in the universe.
Tonight we are in shock but filling our boots with inappropriate jokes, something that Greg would insist on.
Greg was a extraordinary human - not of this world, I’m sure of that. His wonder at the world and creativity is something I’ve never seen in anyone else.
He told me to always believe in magic, that I will never be alone because it is all around us.
My heart is broken but full of magic
Thank you Socrates for letting me know. He is now pain free and will always be around his loved ones in spirit. May Greg rest in peace.
@@kathrynlynch6933 You're welcome.
So sad. And people complain over minute things that really mean nothing.
They should count their blessings that they have nothing serious like this to deal with.
Those people who complain over little things have their own stressors that cause them to respond that way. They deserve to be shown kindness as well. We all do. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@southernbelladonna78 I agree everybody's feelings are valid x
My dad got sick with cancer they did radiation there was one test they wouldn't due because of insurance. that's why they missed it .he past last year it broke my heart .I understand your frustration and anger .my dad looked at me and said if robots looked over test and took the test he wouldn't have to die ,I miss you pop!

What a lovely, darling of a wife. Rest in peace Greg you are sorely missed
How do you know he passed away?
I hope your husband is still alive. It's a shame that he was ignored by doctors for so long. How hard would it have been to do a colonoscopy? Damn.
This week i have just been told i have bowel cancer - cannot take it in. Going for all the tests in the next two weeks. Dont know what to expect . Any feedback would be great. Fingers crossed got to stay positive. God bless you both xx
Hi Margaret, we're so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Please do visit our online forum where you can speak to others who are experiencing something similar. There's even a section specifically for those recently diagnosed: community.beatingbowelcancer.org/forum Let us know if we can help at all
Thank you for your email today I feel like I have been robbed off my personality and I feel very angry is this normal. xx
Everyone will react differently to such difficult news so it's very hard to say what's 'normal'. We can assure you though that lots of people in your situation have said they experienced similar emotions, you're definitely not the only one to feel like this
How are you, Margaret?
How are you?
Your story is so upsetting in many ways. I struggled to watch, the but you came across so strong I wanted to hear your story. I’m not that religious but I hope to god that your husband can be helped and be here for you and to see his kids grow up. I lost my Sensei, who I had trained with for 14 years, to bladder cancer in Oct 2018. To me he was invincible but Cancer doesn’t care. It really hit me hard and still now it’s upsets me to write this. He was a wise, and said many a poignant word, however, the words that stick with me when times are tough are ‘eye of the tiger’ I’m sure you have heard it before...........so, I’ll say it to you ‘eye of the tiger’
Wife you are a shining star love you and your family😘😘
How is it that doctors didn't give him a scan in all those years? Major fail by the medical system. Always advocate for your own health.
what a loving gem of a wife. Where can I find one?
I can feel extreme pain when I l
I recently got a colonscopy at age 19 in August due to weird bowel movements and blood in my stool. Thankfully there was nothing there not even hemmeriods but my brother had a polyp when he was 7 years old... the screening is all off
Great video.
Perhaps we need to remind people how important it is to compare cancer death stats with the current coronavirus silliness going on?
The gross overhype of this supposed virus has taken over logic and reason and people need to get back to what is really important - investing research into cancer treatments and possible cures.
Much has been done over the years in this field and we cannot allow ourselves to become distracted from that.
Perhaps it is our duty to remind everyone we know of what is truly important in the field of research?
Any updates?
I have had pain for about 6 weeks now and also changes in bowel habits. I have today had both stool and blood samples taken. To be honest, I so scared just now. I wish there was someone to talk to.
How áre You now
Im getting that too am scared
@@bangkyboi7464 you okay ?
@@223trolzz3 no am scared still. Havent gone colonoscopy yet

My mum also passed from stage four breast cancer & she was ignored by her doctor with her skin changing under her armpits he said due to sun damage which made no sense she wasn’t a sun lover and who tans their under arms? Sadly by the time she went back again it was too late
I have loads of blood when I go toilet large blood clots had it for a long time 2-3 years I was suppose to go to for a colonoscopy but I didn’t now I’m panicking getting it done ASAP
I had same problem for years never went for colonoscopy believing it was hemorrhoid ended up having complete colon abstraction with tumor cancer stage 4 . How are you doing now ? Hopefully it was not cancer
Victor Lisitsin stage 4 ? Are you ok. I’m going for colonoscopy next week and the camera down the throat. Are you in remission
Victor Lisitsin thanks I’m so sorry to hear that, I’ve left it for a couple years my self so I’m not looking forward to it. I hope you get a few more years I will come back and tell you what they said next week. Thanks for sharing your story it can’t be easy to deal with.
@@bennevis6843 thanks for kind words , Ben . I'll keep you in my prayers . Hope to hear only good news from you.
Victor Lisitsin hello victor, I went for my colonoscopy today they didn’t find cancer only a polyp and removed it. The camera down the throat revealed nothing either. I think about what you told me a lot and I feel very sad about it, I just hope you have a loving family around you to keep your spirits up and you enjoy each day as much as possible, I’ll say a prayer for you.
There is a real issue with NHS doctors arrogantly thinking people are imagining the worst and fobbing them off. I had chronic migraines and NHS doctors wanted to put me on drugs for them until a dietician worked out I was gluten and dairy intolerant. My migraines reduced by about 80% once I cut out these foods. I've had several other conditions that doctors tried to write off as anxiety until things became clear they were real physical health problems. I'm very sorry for this woman and her family, it is atrocious that the NHS allowed him to get so ill and be in so much pain without even doing a scan to check.
How is this young woman today?God Bless her please.🙏🙏🙏from Philly USA.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Omg this is so horrendous, really cruel
Not easy to manage just thinking about today when a young kid needs parents support...
RIP greg
He's alive
Your NHS system is the reason for his delay in diagnosis. The UK rations care. Socialized health care is bad.
Is Gregg still alive ? Is the cancer gone ??
Yes he's alive. Google his name or wife's etc
How is Greg doing? Praying he is better.
He's alive. I Google it
Greg is Alive.
Sounds like the doctors bed side manner did not consider how exposed your family felt.. Expliotation from medical didactics can be d desensitized. Health care professionals see illness all day long. The human body is seamlessly integrated . Anatomy streams connect use to natural antidotes . Media ration will help to get through the day. Blessings
💙💜💚💛🧡❤
This is the third story I am watching where bowel cancer was misdiagnosed for IBS for years!!! This is so upsetting. If you have a feeling that something is off go private. Do not wait for your GP to wake up. Your life is on line.
Hey, i need an advice on how to get private? I want to get seen by a private colorectal surgeon.
Stacey so sorry for your misfortune. I would consider looking into cannabis oil. I believe in this treatment and so do so many other people who have recovered from stage 4 cancer. Lots of luck, godbless!
He's still alive
@@kathrynlynch6933 awesome!
So so sorry but surely cancer could have been excluded at the outset by doing the right tests ie scaning and or MRI.Why would a Doctor not do this from the get go. Really unbelievable. So sorry

Gersons diet too
What’s that
Ben Nevis it’s a special diet based on vegetables. They have a clinic in Mexico. I just heard about “aranto” I am researching about it. All natural.
Lucy Sarubbi I have severe blood clots and low red cells going for my colonoscopy soon I’m praying I’m ok but I will change my diet regardless, these story’s are tough to listen too.
Ben Nevis yes they are but the most important thing is to do the exam and take care of yourself. Juicing will make a big difference. I have to do another colonoscopy because I am getting some symptoms again. It’s scary but God is in control.
Lucy Sarubbi I hope so it’s a lot to take in I will be praying on the day. I hope your clear and thanks for the help god bless.
Im sorry but i hope to never live in the UK the drs appear to be so incompetent there its scary!
I must say I do agree. Too many heartbreaking stories like this that might have happy endings had aggressive diagnostic testing been done MUCH earlier. In the end it is always about the almighty dollar or Pound Sterling!
America are wonderful they have Fox Chase there- a lot of cancer patients get excellent care there. The U.K. has f all.
Selection bias. Your hearing only the bad stories. UK cancer survival rate is higher then us

Why did they not offer Greg a Stoma?
This is incredibly sad . Four years of not being believed is not acceptable. I visit of not being believed by your dr. Is not acceptable. They can always start somewhere. You must speak up for yourself, don’t be subservient. I hope you and your family are doing well .

too young to get cancer? bollocks anyone can get cancer. Cancer isn't age/gender discriminatory wtf!
