'Liver transplant cured my cancer'

Bianca Perea, 32, was given the operation in the hope it could cure her terminal disease.

The procedure has been a huge success and after other treatments targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy and surgery - she has no signs of cancer.

The trainee lawyer visited her GP after feeling constipated and bloated. When medics noted high levels of blood in her stools, she was referred for a colonoscopy and biopsy.

She was given the shocking news in November 2021 that she had stage four bowel cancer the most advanced which had spread to all eight segments of her liver.

Bianca, from Wigan, said: "The doctor said, 'We are looking at prolonging your life rather than a cure'.

"I don't want to sound kind of ignorant or arrogant but I just didn't feel in my gut that that was going to be it."
