In May last year, after many months of abdominal pain, I was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 Bowel Cancer. Having initially had a blood test which showed no signs of cancer, I was given a CT scan a few days later which revealed the bad news.

A  tumor was found to be causing a complete obstruction and a further CT Scan revealed that the cancer had also spread to my liver.

In the 12 months that followed I have undergone a stent procedure, emergency bowel surgery, 8 cycles of chemotherapy, open surgery to remove the liver metastasis and most recently, a course of radiotherapy.

During this time, I have never been far from my next CT or MRI Scan and now that I have made a full recovery, I feel that I owe my life to these machines. Not only did they help the doctors to make a diagnosis, but just as importantly, to assist them in providing me with the treatment and surgery that I needed to get to where I am now.

Scanners will also play a major role in monitoring my condition going forward and now that I am healthy again, I would very much like to do my bit to help this very important cause which will continue to save many lives for years to come.

Many thanks for your support!
