A brave Co Antrim mum has been blown away by the huge response since she first shared her story of being diagnosed with bowel cancer earlier this month.
This April, for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, Alison Graham decided to speak out in a bid to raise more awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Mum-of-three Alison, 58 and from Ballymena was first diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer almost two years ago, when she was given 18 to 24 months to live.
