A healthy father died from undiagnosed stage four bowel cancer in 2020 after symptoms were initially mistaken for a sports injury.
In January 2020, Rich Baillie, a 41-year-old healthy father from Bristol, was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer after persistent shoulder and side pain, initially mistaken for a sports injury.
Despite lacking typical symptoms like blood in stool until later, scans revealed the cancer had spread to his liver.
His wife described the terminal diagnosis as devastating, with no curative treatment available.
Over the next 11 months, Rich underwent chemotherapy during the pandemic, while his family coped with isolation and grief.
He died in November 2020, highlighting how bowel cancer can strike without warning in otherwise healthy individuals.
