Michelle Grant, 44, is urging others to get checked out if 'your body doesn't feel right'
A mum who was diagnosed with bowel cancer after she collapsed at work is now urging others to get checked out if "your body doesn't feel right". Michelle Grant, 44, feared she might have a brain tumour after suffering a sudden seizure but all her test results came back clear.
The mum-of-one said she "knew that something was not normal" and rang her GP to arrange a face to face appointment. She was referred for further tests before the results of a colonoscopy revealed she had stage two bowel cancer. The 44-year-old said she was keen to share her story as her symptoms were uncommon and she couldn't find much information about them on the internet. The mum was also told the tumour in her bowel was pushing against her fibroids and doctors didn't know if the cancer had to spread to her womb and cervix.
Speaking about the stoma, she said: "You're not in control of your bowel but I just embraced it. It's a bit weird getting used to fitted clothes again because I was wearing baggy clothes."
