A mum diagnosed with aggressive colon cancer has revealed she first thought her symptoms of bloating were due to lactose intolerance and stress.
Lindsey Jayn Piette, 41, from Ontario, Canada, was just 39 when she was handed the shocking diagnosis - which spurred the start of a year-long battle enduring exhausting treatments and mental health struggles.
The mum, who has a nine-year-old daughter, has been experiencing constipation, irregular bowel movements and "uncomfortable bloating" for seven years before discovering the reason.
