This quiet announcement was laden with the heavy weight of past experiences. Having previously navigated the complexities of my husband's brain tumor, such news was chilling.
I learned that the large bowel, with its burden of more than 400 precancerous polyps, held a narrative of its own—a profound reminder of the body's poignant trials.
In St Mark's hospital, a place specializing in colorectal medicine, I was confronted not just with my illness but with the broader societal reluctance to discuss bowel health.
Amanda Pritchard's call for openness about bowel issues resonated deeply with me after my own diagnosis. I had been naïve, thinking such concerns were for others.
