Mum-of-three shocked to learn 'urine infection' was actually stage four bowel cancer

Initial Misdiagnosis

A 36-year-old mother of three, Zoe Gardner-Lawson, was taken aback when doctors initially diagnosed her with a harmless urine infection despite experiencing a constant dull pain in her lower back in August 2024.

Shocking Discovery

After multiple doses of antibiotics failed to alleviate her symptoms, Zoe went to A&E, where a CT scan in October revealed a 2-inch tumor on her bowel, leading to the diagnosis of stage four bowel cancer.

Fight Against Cancer

Zoe is currently undergoing her fifth round of chemotherapy and advocates for lowering the minimum age for bowel cancer screenings to detect the disease earlier and improve treatment outcomes.

Hope for the Future

Zoe's proactive approach to treatment includes natural remedies alongside chemotherapy, and she stresses the importance of early detection through at-home screening tests, urging for a lower age threshold for testing.
