Jon Walters shared his colonoscopy experience on social media in a bid to save lives.The Burnley striker, who is on loan at Ipswich, was just 11 years old when his mum, Helen, died at the age of 40 due to bowel cancer.3
Yesterday I went for a colonoscopy. My Mum, Helen passed away aged 40 of bowel cancer and because of her age I need to be checked regularly for any abnormalities of my bowel. To raise awareness of this monstrous disease Im going to share my experience…— Jonathan Walters (@JonWalters19) January 22, 2019Now in the room I was having a nervous look around for the 12,000ft tube and decided they must bring it in after the anaesthesiologist works his magic.I then witnessed a 20-minute journey through my bowels on a TV screen and asked Dr M the most serious question of all, Did he find my head up there as Ive been told on many occasions thats where its at?Walters was then given the all-clear by medics.He added: Thankfully it was the easiest of procedures and my bowels are completely clear of any polyps and I have no worries whatsoever. The next step for me is to get some genetic tests to see whether my mums bowel cancer could have been passed on genetically. Im just glad this doesnt involve MoviPrep!Ive shared this with you for a reason! Colonoscopies arent a joke and neither is bowel cancer. Its a vile disease that can be prevented with some education and awareness on early signs of the disease. Theres no shame in doing what Ive done.Go on our amazing @nhs website to get any information required and please speak to your GP. It was 23 years ago that my mum passed away. With the advances in medicine since then, I would like to envisage that taking my advice could help save your life.
