Rugby Captain Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer
Andrew Walker, a 31-year-old rugby captain from Yorkshire, is urging young people to consult their GPs about unusual fatigue after he was misdiagnosed with iron deficiency before being revealed to have bowel cancer. Despite only 5% of bowel cancer diagnoses in the UK being in individuals under 50, cases among younger people are rising, with a 22% increase in diagnoses from 1990 to 2018. Walker, who initially experienced extreme tiredness and struggled to recover from injuries, underwent surgery to remove half of his bowel and nearby lymph nodes after blood was found in a stool sample. He expressed shock at his diagnosis, stating he expected a routine check-up. Experts suspect the rise in cases may be linked to increased consumption of ultra-processed foods. He is currently awaiting test results to determine if further treatment is necessary.
