37 Years Mother From Essex Underwent Chemotherapy & Surgery For Being Diagnosed Stage 4 Bowel Cancer

Beth Purvis 37 years old from Essex mother of two claimed she is too young for having cancer , until a tumour sticking out her bottom area, while after the doctor examined her and diagnosed she had irritable bowel syndrome or IBS 

The doctor asked Mrs Purvis to comeback if she felt it getting worse and rest, nothing to worry about , until she felt something gone wrong during in toilet 2016, something wrong from her rectum

She revealed that she was experiencing terrible pain and saw blood


She stated " when I went to wipe it away I felt something there , lot of blood and something fleshy"

And then she was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital for getting an immediate response in Harlow as she is been thinking it was rectal prolapse, as rectum slipped out anus

The test has giving a conclusion she had polyps in her bowels, kind of pre cancerous growth and then the medics told her she was having a stage 4 of bowel cancer - stage of aggressive and quite hard to survive 

Mrs Purvis mom of Joseph and Abigail then started to take chemotherapy to tackle all disease and live longer to see her children to grow up

And then in October she taking a large section of rectum.surgery , the rectum removed and being given stoma that later reversed. It's likely bad for her as the cancer already spread to the lungs according to CT scan so by December she took three months course of chemotherapy 

She was taken back to reverse ileostomy and to take away the stoma , this is how she thinking everything is going to be over but then another steps were taken 

Just three weeks after her reversal she developed rectal vagina fistula and she need to have her burn sewn up , these all leading her to take two operations at Royal Brompton, London over her cancer to overcome the spread of cancer over her lung 

Finally she getting better and now cancer-free, yet the doctor still asking her to undergo chemotherapy as the chance cancer is comeback still there, doctor need to ensure cancer away
