Woman who put her exhaustion down to her busy lifestyle discovers she has bowel cancer at 32 – which doctors missed for a whole year because they thought she was 'too young' to get it

Cara Hoofe, from west London, was sent away by GP with iron pills for anaemia
This was despite family history of bowel cancer – father was diagnosed in his 40s
Cara discovered she had advanced cancer and needed part of bowel removed
It had also spread to her liver, and part of that had to be cut away too
She has Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition raising risks of certain cancers
Speaking out to raise awareness that bowel cancer can affect younger people
