Steve began having 'out of body experiences' whilst at work in September 2021.
Four common symptoms of bowel cancer that can show up years before diagnosis
"I could still communicate and coordinate, it just felt so weird. It would happen at work when I was at the checkouts. I just put it down as drinking too much coffee so I didn’t really think much of it." He went to the hospital where doctors insisted he should have MRI and CT scans and kept him in for monitoring. After being in Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital for three days, on November 17 everything seemed normal; his wife went to visit him and they were both under the impression there was nothing serious going on.Steve said:"The doctor came over and threw the curtains around. He said he had some bad news for me and I have a tumour.
"I told them over the phone and they came to see me the next day. They had tears in their eyes. I was feeling positive when I saw them, though. I was determined to beat it." After Steve had a date for the surgery, he wanted to get as fit as possible and cycled every day, which he said"got through his mental struggles". Steve successfully had the tumour surgically removed on January 17, 2022.
One week after his surgery, Steve began having radiotherapy for six weeks, five times a week, followed by chemotherapy, in tablet form, for five days in a row, with 23 days off, for 12 months. His chemotherapy ended at the end of March 2023.He said:"I just got into a routine with it and I was just thankful to be getting over it. I was just massively relieved and so was my family - my tumour took a bigger toll on them than it did me and Anna, my wife, was my absolute rock.
