‘Mouth cancer has changed who I am – don’t ignore warning signs’

A man who was diagnosed with cancer after feeling a “sharpness” in mouth is urging others not to ignore warning signs.

Doctors discovered Guy Walker, 54, from Blagdon, Somerset, had a tumour the size of a thumb growing into his sinuses after he felt a “pin prick of a spot” in his mouth.

Within 40 hours of the diagnosis, he was rushed in for surgery to remove part of his mouth, jaw and nose.

He said: “I went from someone who was reasonably fit, just a normal person, totally unexceptional, to having 10.5 hours of surgery to save my life.”
