It’s been a god send talking to people with the same problems. I like it as it’s local. I like this as it’s on my doorstep.

Leroy went on to tell the story of how he is a Cancer Champion – he said… ““I had previously talked to someone about my cancer experience, and she told me that something I said made her go to the GP and she ended up having tests and she got a cancer diagnosis and was treated successfully. I was talking to someone else I knew who had received a bowel testing kit in the post. After I explained about my cancer experience, they sent off the FIT test and it came back that they had traces of blood in their pooh. I took them to the hospital, and it turned out they had cancer. They have now also successfully finished treatment. Another friend of mine was telling me he was diagnosed with cancer but hadn’t heard anything back from the hospital. I asked my consultant to chase it up for him and he is now being treated. I tell you what it really pays to talk about cancer as it really saves lives.”
