Aussie mum Jess Grewar had done everything right.

She climbed the corporate ladder, married her soul mate, bought a house in Bondi, and became a mum to a beautiful little boy.

“We’re really fortunate, we have a really great life,” she told 10 News+. 

Until the 35-year-old was hit with a shock diagnosis.

“You have all these images in your head of how you want to be there for their first day of school, hear them say I love you for the first time, and that might not be there or I might not be there for them,” she said.

Jess is a member of a club no one wants no one be a part of, but has a growing membership – young people with bowel cancer.

“Between the ages of 25 and 34, we have seen almost a 266 per cent rise in incidents of cancer,” gastroenterologist Dr Suhirdan Vivekanandarajah said.

Traditionally considered an ‘older person’s disease, bowel cancer rates are spiking across the world. Jess was quick to underplay her symptoms.

Now, she’s pushing to get the National Bowel Screening age lowered.
