Story
As you all know my darling husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer earlier this year. Its been a difficult time but he’s doing fantastically and is coping well with the treatment. This is for him and all the other people out there suffering from this horrible disease.
A few interesting facts:
- There are around 42,000 new bowel cancer cases in the UK every year, that's more than 110 every day (2014-2016).
- Bowel cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 12% of all new cancer cases (2016).
- In females in the UK, bowel cancer is the 3rd most common cancer, with around 18,600 new cases in 2016.
- In males in the UK, bowel cancer is the 3rd most common cancer, with around 23,500 new cases in 2016.
- Over half of bowel cancer cases are diagnosed at a late stage in England (2014), Scotland (2014-2015), and Northern Ireland (2010-2014).
I'm taking part in Brew Together 2019 to support Bowel Cancer UK. All the money raised will help stop people dying of bowel cancer by funding vital services and lifesaving research. Thank you for your support.
