A mum-of-one described as a "free spirit" thought she had IBS before being diagnosed with bowel cancer.
Delilah May, from Skelmersdale, began to experience pain in her stomach and bloating that wouldn't go away but she put it down to irritable bowel syndrome. The pain started to get worse between March and July 2021 and Delilah said she started having severe back pain when she spoke to LancsLive last year.
However, it was in July 2021 that her symptoms started getting worse and the young mum started vomiting "at least once a week." Delilah was told at the beginning of May 2022 that she had just 18 months to live. Delilah had around £9,000 raised for her to enjoy what little time she had left with her son Jake and fiancee Mark.
