Bowel cancer

Tragedy as father-of-two dies days after bowel cancer diagnosis - as wife has chemo

A widow says she has "survivor's guilt" after her husband died of cancer while she was undergoing chemotherapy which helped save her life. Shona Maclaren, 34, was diagnosed with cervical cancer after bleeding which she said doctors dismissed as postpartum symptoms. But as she underwent treatment, her husband William Mclaren, 41, was diagnosed with advanced stage four bowel cancer. Just nine days later he died in a hospice.
