'GP's should not use age to dismiss the possibility of bowel cancer.'

Diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer and HER2 gene mutation at 35, Pei, (a GP registrar) chats with Stephanie regarding the importance of GP’s treating the patient in front of them without age bias. 

Pei talks about her realistic and pragmatic approach to living her life with a terminal illness and how her love of the outdoors keeps her focused on the 'now'.

'I live my life in 9-week cycles – scan to scan – but I am always trying to focus on making the most of the present.'

Pei’s dual role as both patient and health professional provides a unique perspective.
