Steve Hollington, 58, was diagnosed with stage three cancer following an NHS bowel screening test.
Steve Hollington said the test was like a "winning lottery ticket" as it saved his life
A cruise ship musician has urged people to have bowel cancer screening after he was diagnosed with the disease despite having no symptoms. Steve Hollington, 58, was diagnosed with stage three cancer in 2022 after completing bowel screening - the Faecal Immunochemical Test . The singer, of Warrington, Cheshire, said the test was like a "winning lottery ticket" as it saved his life.: "One of these poo on a stick test packs things arrived."To my amazement, shock and horror - it was bowel cancer.""The surgeon said if we had not found it when we did, if it had gone a few more months, it would probably have gone inoperable.The test can be done at home and then sent off.
Mr Hollington has now reworked Elton John's classic Your Song to help raise awareness of bowel cancer screening.
