An Edinburgh joiner has spoken out about his life-changing battle with bowel cancer, after shockingly being diagnosed at just 32 years old.
Michael Felberg, now 41, first noticed something was wrong when he struggled to go to the toilet. Soon after, he began suffering from stomach pains, diarrhoea, and constipation, which signalled something far more serious than he initially suspected.The 41-year-old said: “I can remember it really clearly.
I went out with a friend for a meal and the next morning I couldn’t go to the toilet, which was very uncommon for me."From that day on, I had a lot of issues.
It was like a light switch. Everything changed.“I kept going to my GP, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. I was actually told that I was paranoid.
