Overview
- Chris Kirt, 31, sought a private screening after delays receiving results from an NHS stool test.
- Doctors discovered a five‑centimetre tumour in his descending colon during the private exam.
- He underwent surgery two months later and was told four weeks after that he was cancer‑free just before Christmas.
- He now uses TikTok to share the warning signs he experienced: unusual fatigue or daytime sleepiness, night sweats, sudden urgency, a feeling of not fully emptying, and blood in stool.
- NHS and Bowel Cancer UK advise contacting a GP about persistent bowel changes or bleeding, while noting these symptoms can have other causes.
