The father-to-be is warning young Australians to be on the lookout for symptoms as oncologists warn of an "epidemic".

A Melbourne father-to-be who's fighting incurable bowel cancer is pushing to raise awareness about the disease.

At just 32 years old, his stomach cramps were initially misdiagnosed as appendicitis, then found to be bowel cancer that had spread. "It wasn't really on our radar that cancer could possibly be a diagnosis at that point. We thought everything would be treatable."But in February, he was told his cancer was no longer curable."He brings me up a lot more than I probably bring him up - I honestly don't know how he does it," Tegan said.Their positivity is spurred on by them expecting their first child in June.
