Rebecca Gibson first started complaining of bleeding in 2018 and was later invited for a sigmoidoscopy, an examination of the lower bowel. The 36-year-old, from Wythenshawe, was told she had a small growth and it was nothing to be concerned about.

“However, by the autumn of 2022 I really knew something wasn’t right. I kept flagging my symptoms and concerns and pushing for an urgent coloscopy. I’d been begging for years but not once had I been referred.
“By the time of my colonoscopy I knew it was cancer. However, to be told that they had found a 10 cm tumour that had perforated my bowel and had spread was absolutely devastating.
“Despite everything nothing prepared me for that moment. I found it difficult to accept and immediately thought about how
