    Key words 'early stages' which hopefully represents the best opportunity for Angus to make a full recovery from the **** disease.

    All the very best to him during this difficult time

    Devastated for the lad, had no luck at all, makes you wonder if his previous illnesses have had an effect on this as well.

    Stay strong Angus and beat this evil disease.

    Well that's, pardon the phrasing, exceptionally **** news. Best wishes Angus, you're a strong healthy lad, beat the ****er and get well for yourself, your lass and your family.

    Hope the "early stages" thing means the docs have caught it quick enough, but imagine having a blood clotting problem can complicate the treatment options and risks.

    Poor fella.

    He’s young and fit and it’s early stage, so hopefully he’ll beat it.

    Good luck to Angus I'm sure he will overcome this. Just goes to show some calling him a sick note isn't so clear cut has it?

    I actually couldn’t believe it when I first read he’d got cancer... my family has had to put up with this ****ing illness too many times....

    Bowel cancer survival statistics


    Bowel cancer is cancer that starts in the large bowel (colon cancer) or back passage (rectal cancer). It is also known as colorectal cancer.

    Survival depends on many different factors. So no one can tell you exactly how long you will live. It depends on your:

    • type and stage of cancer
    • level of fitness
    • previous treatment
    These are general statistics based on large groups of patients. Remember, they can’t tell you what will happen in your individual case.

    Survival by stage
    There are no UK-wide statistics available for bowel cancer survival by stage.

    Survival statistics are available for each stage of bowel cancer in one area of England. These figures are for people diagnosed between 2002 and 2006. They are for colon and rectal cancer combined.

    Stage 1
    95 out of 100 men (95%) with stage 1 bowel cancer (also called Dukes' A) will survive their cancer for 5 years or more after they're diagnosed.

    Around all women (100%) with stage 1 bowel cancer (also called Dukes' A) will survive their cancer for 5 years or more after they're diagnosed.

    Generally for people with bowel cancer in England and Wales:

    • around 75 out of 100 people (around 75%) survive their cancer for 1 year or more
    • around 60 out of 100 people (around 60%) survive their cancer for 5 years or more
    • almost 60 out of 100 people (almost 60%) survive their cancer for 10 years or more
    As he is young, it has been caught early and is fit, he has a good chance.

    I have a scar across my neck where the doctors cut to take a piece of my lymph nodes. They said I may have lung cancer. For a month or two my wife never left my side. I still cry when I talk about it. I was one of the lucky ones, others in my family weren’t so. I ****ing hate this illness... the day I went for the results a bloke went in before me, he was as white as a sheet and could barely walk when he came out, his wife was crying. That image will never leave me, the doctor said it was just shadows you sometimes get. I have never felt so relieved in my life, but for some reason couldn’t get the sight of that bloke and his wife out of my head. I could tell you exactly what they were wearing that day, but cannot remember last nights tea....

    I notice these figures are for 2002 to 2006. Assuming the improvements for bowel cancer are similar to other types, these survival rates will be massively improved.
