A woman who was told her symptoms were down to Crohn's disease actually had bowel cancer.
Emma Egerton was diagnosed with ulcerated colitis when she was aged 11, which then progressed to Crohn's disease. Ever since then, the 33-year-old had been living with the "crippling illness".
Crohn's disease is a lifelong condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed. The main symptoms include stomach aches and cramps, fatigue, weight loss and diarrhoea.
