Mitch Gowing's family thought he'd suffered a stroke - but the results revealed en equally terrifying diagnosis
At the age of just 27, Mitchell Gowing's life had changed in ways he never could have imagined. He'd gone from working as a GMP dispatch officer, to being treated in hospital for a life-threatening illness.
Mitch’s consultant was confident his team could successfully treat him, but explained the treatment and journey ahead would be demanding. The consultant also suggested the drop in Mitch’s face could have been caused by the pressure of the tumour in the stomach pressing on other nerve endings around the body.
Following the treatment at Oldham, Mitch was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary for a bone marrow transplant which involved more chemotherapy, injections and stem cell harvesting via a dialysis machine. The stem cells replaced cells damaged by the chemotherapy to help Mitch’s immune system recover.
The former Tottington High School pupil is backing the joint Stand Up To Cancer fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4 after successful treatment for NHL. His younger sister Ella and his girlfriend Lucy have already raised more than £5,000 for Cancer Research UK after taking part in Pretty Muddy at Heaton Park in July.
