He described how his toilet habits began to change "considerably and rapidly" and how he was losing blood between 20 to 30 times each day before ending up in A&E after his symptoms and blood loss got out of hand, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Doctors performed an endoscopy expecting to find signs of Crohn’s disease but ended up sadly finding a tumour which would require surgery to remove it and his bowels analysed. He was diagnosed with stage two bowel cancer.
