Too Young: Diary of a Bowel Cancer Patient (True Cancer Story) Volume 1 Meet Janie. She's forty years old, married with three children, doesn't smoke and rarely drinks. Four cats, two chinchillas and a hamster share her house. She has an allotment which isn't completely overrun with slugs. And she's just been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. Follow Janie's journey from the first out-of-the-blue symptoms to surgery, diagnosis and beyond. Using email, phone texts, chat forums and the social network Facebook, Janie has a very modern way of coping. Laugh with her, but don't cry. Because that is something she refuses to do.
