A brave mum has opened up about how a shock cancer diagnosis changed her life.
Denise Graham was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer last Easter. Previously, GPs and NHS staff mistakenly told her "nothing was seriously wrong", and on one occasion she was sent home from hospital and told she was just a "bit constipated".
The 45-year-old, who was diagnosed the same illness as podcaster and campaigner Deborah James, has shared her story to raise the profile of bowel cancer and encourage people to get themselves screened. And she has also told of how cancer has changed her perspective on life.
