Sister's warning after fit and healthy brother dies within a year of devastating diagnosis
A sister is issuing a heartbreaking warning after her seemingly fit and healthy brother died from bowel cancer within a year of diagnosis.
But he was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer and given a poor prognosis. He tragically died before his 34th birthday; eight months after being diagnosed.Benj's sister, Abby Morris, has since formed The Bowel Movement, a charity set up in memory of Benj. She has now produced a film to help spread awareness of the disease using her brother's tale.
Described by his wife Laura as an "intelligent, confident man with a massive heart" following his death in 2019, Benj was a loving husband, son, stepdad, brother and uncle. His friends called him 'Thanos' after the marvel comic character, because he had a "personality as big as the universe". Abby's story of what happened to Benj, from Frome, has now been included in a film that has been produced to warn others of the dangers and encourage people to come forward if they are displaying symptoms.
