A dad has hailed a random testing kit that dropped through his letterbox one day as his 'winning lottery ticket' as it revealed a potentially fatal diagnosis, saving his life.
The dad-of-two was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer following an NHS bowel screening test that landed on his doormat, having had no symptoms.
He is now urging others to take up the offer of screening when invited as he was saved from the second biggest cancer killer.
Steve Hollington, 58, who works as a musician on cruise ships, says the devastating findings 'completely took him by surprise' and within weeks, he was undergoing surgery.
