NSW Liberal MP Matt Cross has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and has taken immediate leave to focus on his recovery. The 39-year-old Member for Davidson, on Sydney ’s Northern Beaches, revealed his diagnosis in parliament on Tuesday, saying unusual blood levels recorded during a donation prompted him to visit his GP.
Matt Cross opens up about cancer diagnosis. “Recently, I became one of over 150,000 Australians who are diagnosed with cancer in a typical year, or one of the 300 Australians who are diagnosed with bowel cancer during an average week,” Cross said. “Nothing about this has felt typical or average to me.” The politician said he had since experienced “feelings of shock, fear and denial” but remains “grateful” for an early diagnosis.
