FirstDates star Merlin Griffiths shares health update on bowel cancer journey
Merlin Griffiths has opened up on his bowel cancer journey, explaining that despite undergoing two operations and chemotherapy he is still living with the disease.
Speaking to The Sun, he shared: "They used to call it remission, now they call it NED, which means no evidence of disease. “If there’s no recurrence of disease after ten years, then you are technically cured," he added to the publication.Merlin said that there's a 30 per cent chance his cancer will return, but added that his "disease free survival rate is 70 per cent, more or less".
"I thought, as most people must when they get a diagnosis, ‘Oh f***, I’ve got cancer’" Merlin revealed to the Sunday Mirror.
