Two years ago, Englishwoman Melanie Swan-Horton went through a painful divorce from her husband, after which she decided to bring the figure in order. The woman sat on a diet high in protein, recommended by experts to those who load themselves with physical exercises. Melanie spent at the gym for two or three hours a day, and when the weight really began to decrease, the woman felt herself in seventh heaven with happiness.

Alas, in reality, a sharp loss of weight was due not to successes in the diet, but the development of bowel cancer. The disease also leads to rapid fatigue, but this feeling Melanie was writing off for a long time in the hall. So it coincided that for two long periods the woman took two main symptoms of intestinal cancer for another. Until the disease has gone too far.

46-year-old mother of two children from Norfolk has already undergone surgery and chemotherapy. But the doctors told her that they could not help. Bowel cancer metastasized into the lungs and liver. Too much time was lost. Meanwhile, any person should necessarily go to the doctor if he sees the following symptoms: blood in the stool, prolonged diarrhea or constipation, unexplained weight loss, rapid fatigue and trouble breathing.

"I'm still going through treatment, but now it's purely palliative care," Melanie says.. - Physically and psychologically I am completely exhausted, it is very difficult to live in anticipation of an imminent death. But I do not want the disease to win with such a preponderance. As long as I live, I try to convey to every man and woman in the UK: do not repeat my mistakes, do not ignore the signals that your body sends to you ".
