A Scots dad’s world was turned upside down after his ‘flushed red face’ turned out to be a sign of a rare terminal cancer. Craig Speirs first went to his GP in 2008 after he began experiencing the strange symptom alongside heart palpitations and going to the toilet 10-15 times a day.The former security company manager told how doctors were puzzled as to the cause before eventually receiving his diagnosis five years later in 2013.
The 42-year-old, from Elderslie, said he thought “life was over” when medics told him he had Neuroendocrine cancer, which can start in different parts of the body.His disease started in his rectum and he now has ‘hundreds of tumours’ on his liver too after being given just five years to live.
