When Rosie Hindmarsh's mum died unexpectedly last summer, she thought that her stomach issues were a symptom of grief. But soon her world was "flipped" when doctors diagnosed her with a rare cancer.
Rosie was enduring abdominal pains, loose bowels, severe sweats and had lost just under a stone within less than a week. Because it coincided with her mum's death a year ago, she put it down to bereavement when friends showed their concern.
But things got worse, so Rosie went to see a doctor. That was seven weeks ago and was followed by tests and procedures, including an MRI scan. She was then told she needed her appendix and lower bowel removed due to it being extremely thickened, reports CornwallLive.
