Adele Roberts has provided an update on her battle with colon cancer, revealing that early treatment saved her life.
The radio host is supporting a campaign to increase awareness of the condition’s symptoms.
The 44-year-old was given the all-clear by doctors in June after being diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer in October 2021.
She initially claimed that she felt “embarrassed” calling the doctors to discuss the symptoms she was having.
According to her, she said:
“It took me a while to pluck up the courage to call my GP at first. My symptoms seemed like things I could explain away. I didn’t want to be a burden to the NHS and I was embarrassed. I shouldn’t have worried.
“Soon after I was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer, which was very nearly developing into stage 3. Getting the help I needed in time helped save my life.”
Adele added: “If you’re worried please speak to someone, early detection saves lives and it helped save mine.
