A dad was diagnosed with a deadly disease after dismissing his rapid weight loss as working too hard and not eating properly.

Along with the weight loss, Rob also experienced other symptoms, including passing blood, which eventually led to his wife Kirsty persuading him to visit his GP.The supply chain logistics manager from Warrington in the UK said: "By the time I received my diagnosis, I'd resigned myself to the fact it was something serious. I had bowel cancer, and it had spread, with nodules in my liver and lung.

Three years on since his diagnosis in March 2019, Rob is back at work full-time, having recently visited London and Belfast with family to celebrate his 40th birthday. Rob shared his story for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month this April to encourage others not to ignore possible symptoms of cancer.
