The next topic on the show is about Trevor Sorbie, a renowned hairdresser who recently shared his determination to make it until Christmas. This news comes after he was given a devastating diagnosis and told he only had a few months left to live. At 75 years old, Trevor is facing a tough battle with bowel cancer, which was discovered after he noticed a concerning amount of blood loss.
In June, Trevor and his partner Carol received the heartbreaking news that he only had a limited amount of time left. And in September, they were told that no treatment would be able to help him. Despite this, Trevor remains optimistic and determined to see Christmas this year. He never wakes up feeling sorry for himself, even though he is facing serious health struggles.
During his appearance on This Morning, Trevor spoke about the symptoms he experienced before his diagnosis, which led him to seek medical help. He shared, "It started when I lost a lot of blood one night and I was unusually disturbed about that." This prompted him to go to the hospital for further evaluation.
It was there that Trevor was informed of his bowel cancer diagnosis. He recalls having a panic attack in the office and feeling speechless when he looked at Carol. They walked out of the hospital in shock, and Trevor joked that he needed a big gin and tonic to calm his nerves.
Unfortunately, the cancer had spread to Trevor's liver and he had to undergo two six-hour operations. However, there is still a tumor present as it is too close to a major blood vessel. Despite this setback, Trevor remains determined to make it to Christmas.
Carol added that when they were first told in June that Trevor only had a few months left to live, they were in denial. But now, they are trying to make the most of every day they have together. Trevor, who was awarded an MBE in 2004, remains positive and never lets his cancer define him. He continues to go to work a few days a week, as his passion for hairdressing feels like his medicine.
When asked about his prognosis, Trevor shared that he had a nurse come to assess him and asked if he would make it until Christmas. The nurse couldn't give a definitive answer, but Trevor confidently stated, "I damn well will." He refuses to accept anything less.
Not only is Trevor staying strong for himself, but also for Carol. She opened up about receiving bereavement counseling to help her cope with Trevor's diagnosis. She shared, "I get my strength through this man, he is guiding me through a good death." Every day, they are grateful for the time they have together.
On a final note, the show mentions Macmillan Cancer Support, an organization that offers support and information for those who have been diagnosed with cancer. They can be contacted through their helpline, web chat service, or website.
