'I was told I'd be dead by now': Man lived with hidden cancer which grew without symptoms for TEN years
Tony Collier was told he would be dead by now. In 2017 he was diagnosed with stage four prostrate cancer and told he had just two years to live.
The pain he'd been experiencing was caused by stress fractures in bones that had been weakened by the disease. Doctors believed the cancer could have been lying hidden for ten years without any symptoms. "If I had had that test it would have saved my life, or at least prolonged it," he said. "But I've been very fortunate.
Tony took up running aged 45, after being told by his doctor he was 'borderline clinically obese'. Since then he's run 20 marathons in his 50s and several ultra-marathons. The running keeps him fit, which is a massive help with his treatment. But also, just as importantly, it's a huge boost to his mental health, helping him maintain his remarkably positive mindset. However this wasn't always the case.
