Hello everybody. My name is Georgia Marsh and I'm 21 years old. On the 27th January this year I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and on the 11th Feb, I had a total Colectomy (removal of large intestine). Thankfully they caught it really early and on the 11th March I got the all clear! It's going to take me a long time to recover but I need to get back on here and lose some weight. Sadly I'm having to take a year out of uni - I'm a student children's nurse but will be going back next January.

Really need some friends for encouragement so please add me. Thank you! :) xxx

    Great job beating cancer! I don't have colorectal cancer but I have severe Crohn's disease. Focus on your recovery before actively trying to lose weight :) you've got this.
