A 30-year-old mum, Jessica Sturgeon, from Belfast, has been diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer after being initially told she was 'too young' to have such symptoms. She experienced stomach pain and was passing blood before her diagnosis at the age of 28.

A mum has been diagnosed with stage four cancer after being told she was 'too young' to be displaying symptoms.

"This went on until February 2022, and at that point, they were querying IBS or Crohn's Disease. I was admitted to hospital and was there overnight, and I was given laxatives. "Blood tests came back and they thought I had Irritable Bowel Disease - they told me it wasn't cancer - then three months later, I went for a colonoscopy, and was diagnosed with cancer."
