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?

[@user-lk8oz2pn6i]

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

[@doyoumind.atall.stopspying5572]

My uncle died two years ago. Please take this seriously.

[@dominicperez4341]

Blessings on your recovery and your family

[@lobi8655]

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.

[@jean-francoisboily2107]

Courageous girl ! So strong! Live long and healthy!

[@michaelalittle3622]

All the best to this brave woman ❤

[@user-ky1xq5dk7j]

God bless every canser patients including my father diagnozed

[@makeracistsafraidagain]

A colonoscopy saved my life many years ago.

[@carlix8035]

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.

[@robertoq125]

She’s very blessed 🙏🏼

[@great-garden-watch]

Congratulations!

[@MinumumPrime]

[@skiptonn]

[@MarcelFrancisco]

[@KaraLey98]

What is “bow babes”?
(I’m not in the uK, so have not heard this before.)

[@sotemporary]

I think she said “bowel babes”.

[@Luke121201]

Congratulations on get through chemotherapy & becoming clear! Your amazing to sound that brave when speaking about it. I know what cancer is like. Thanks to sky for cutting her off about advice to current cancer patients, I could use some about now 😢🖕

[@weebeybrice5041]

🙏

[@thecraigmachine69]

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

[@user-dd3eb5iy1g]

❤😊

Jay Burley is so rude

[@johncampbell9120]

We are all going to die from something😮

[@rbublitz3322]

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

[@gunndecagon271]

Very true. I was struck by her saying about eating ice cream after her colonoscopy. I don't know if she had changed her diet after her cancer ordeal but if she hasn't things may not end that well. I and my dad have colon tumours and our lives have changed in terms of what we eat, if this disease takes us it won't be cos of us not changing our eating habits. Good luck to everyone faced with this awful situation.

[@KingsguardRP]

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

[@lofi-sz1km]

poor diet also red and processed meats, low fibre foods over BMI weight

[@zebaahmad3777]

My brother lives a healthy life no smoking no alcohol no junk food but still got this so please dont say this

[@muhammadisaac07]

La casa

[@bobhope8404]

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

[@ElanaMccullum]

UNFORTUNATELY IT ALMOST ALWAYS COMES BACK...

[@SungazerDNB]

In a robe eating icecream. Gross.

[@user-qx3eb2jx1p]
