EXACTLY a year ago, mum of one Lauren Roberts sat in stunned silence in an oncologist’s office. The 40-year-old was trying to take in the devastating news she’d just been given. “Hearing the words …
and her own experiences with it, was what led me to push back against three years of being dismissed by doctors, and find out I had the same condition as her, while it was still treatable.”
In early summer last year, Lauren decided to order an online stool test, inspired by Dame Deborah’s campaigning. “On July 25, 2022, I had a colonoscopy under light sedation and the same day was told a tumour had been discovered, and they were 95 per cent certain it was cancerous.Further tests and scans the following month confirmed that Lauren had stage 3 bowel cancer.
“A few days later I learned that the cancer had spread into the lymph nodes which meant I needed chemotherapy.eggs harvestedAfter undergoing four cycles of chemo, a mixture of infusions in hospital and tablets at home, Lauren completed treatment at Christmas last year. “I feel incredibly lucky. It’s been the hardest year and the first anniversary of my diagnosis earlier this month was surreal, reflecting on everything I have been through,” she says.
