- When symptoms began in 2020, they were initially attributed to probable trapped wind; Harris was told to track his diet and symptoms.
- He received the cancer diagnosis only in December 2022, despite chronic pain, high blood pressure and blood in his stool; appendicitis was also previously suspected.
- After successful NHS surgery removed the bowel tumour, Harris is now battling secondary stage-four liver cancer.
- Around 30 friends plan to walk 26 miles from Bodinnick to Plymouth on October 3, 2023, raising donations.
Don't be afraid to visit the doctor or openly talk about any issues you might have. And challenge the doctor if you have questions! I wish I had done. It could save your life.— Ian Harris (Bomber), speaking about his diagnosis and urging others to seek medical advice and question doctors.
