Jenny Duncan, 45, is opening up about her battle with bowel cancer and the regret she feels for hiding her symptoms from her doctor out of embarrassment.
Her first signs appeared while on vacation in Lanzarote in 2019, but she dismissed them. Starting a new job as a head teacher in the UK, she attributed her stomach aches and blood on the toilet paper to stress and excitement.
Jenny even took photos to track the bleeding but didn’t tell anyone until her husband accidentally saw one of the pictures. Alarmed, he urged her to seek medical help, and soon after she was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer.
