A mother-of-two from Co Derry has spoken of her shock at her bowel cancer diagnosis after mistakenly putting persistent stomach pains down to exercise and a change in diet.
Tilly Walsh, from Limavady, has since been given the all clear and is now set to take on the Foyle Hospice female walk/run next month.
Speaking to Belfast Live, she encouraged other people to go and get checked out because "it's important to catch it early if you can".
