A woman diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer that had spread to her ovaries and her liver, was given three months to live in January 2020. Instead, she is celebrating, having received a new lease on life. Long before Caroline Guy was given an official cancer diagnosis, the 56-year-old knew something was wrong. "I felt sluggish, I just didn't feel right. My stomach was swollen," she told Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. However, in June 2019, a doctor in Spain dismissed her symptoms as menopause. "I'd googled my symptoms and I actually asked him outright if I had bowel cancer and he said no," Guy revealed.

She says she had the...
