Mel's Cancer

About Mel

Page 1

My wife's name is Mel. Mel is disabled and unable to type this, as she doesn't have full use of her hands. So, this is Mel's story, told by me. Mel was born in Walsall, West Midlands, in September 1972. It's easier saying it that way, otherwise I'd have to update Mel's age on this website every year.
We have been and still are a very happily married couple since 2004. Mel has never smoked, doesn't drink, never even been drunk, never worked with chemicals. So it came as a shock when Mel was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 52.
Mel didn't feel any different, nor did she have any symptoms, at least she didn't think she had. Mel's doctor told her she was losing blood, not a noticeable amount, but they didn't know where from. So she was sent for a colonoscopy procedure.
