Phil Dobson's suspicions began to arise after struggling to pass urine during a trip to Edinburgh in July 2021
A man has spoken of how his struggles to go to the toilet led to him being diagnosed with 'incurable cancer' at the age of just 24, Chronicle Live reports. Phil Dobson, from Blyth, Northumberland, realised not all was well when he struggled to pass urine during a trip to Edinburgh with his girlfriend in July 2021.
"But on the train on the way home, I was sweating badly and couldn’t sit still due to the pain in my bladder. As soon as we got home to Newcastle, I went straight to A&E." "The staff tried to get me to pass urine, but I couldn’t do it at all," Phil said. "They put a catheter in me and drained my bladder. About two litres of urine was drained from me - a normal bladder should only hold around 500ml.
"I was devastated," Phil said. "I had family in the past who had passed away after cancer. I was determined and hoped that youth would be on my side. Naturally, my family was devastated too. I was so healthy, did lots of exercise, and had no previous medical conditions." Teenage Cancer Trust has supported Phil throughout his cancer battle, and he is supporting the charity's campaign to raise awareness of the main signs of cancer in young people. This comes after new research from the charity has revealed that less than half of 18-24-year-olds can correctly identify any of the five main signs and symptoms of cancer in their demographic.
