General Surgery

Mr Rochford - treatment for bowel cancer

"Embarrassment at the thought of a rectal examination plus fear of finding out what was the problem were the factors that held me back from seeking help. I didn’t feel ill, I was a bit tired, but that was probably age related, but I was loosing blood in my motions and my trips to the toilet were becoming more frequent and urgent!"
