A dad's life was turned upside-down when a simple test revealed he was suffering from a form of cancer.
Kevin Saunderson, 47, from West Derby, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August 2022 - despite experiencing no symptoms of the potentially deadly disease, which affects the small gland underneath the bladder.
He said: "No one wants to hear those words 'I'm afraid it's cancer'. I was only 46 and didn't experience any symptoms that would suggest I had the disease, so I was in total shock. I'm usually someone who looks for a joke in any situation, but not this time.
