Chris Davey (bottom left and bottom right, while skydiving), 59, of Bristol, thought a change in his stool was strange but hadn't been too concerned. He decided to keep a list of minor changes in his health for his GP, including itchy skin and yellowing eyes, and was shocked when it led to a pancreatic cancer diagnosis in April 2016. The grandfather-of-six was determined to walk his daughter down the aisle a few weeks after his diagnosis even though he was due to undergo major surgery (see main and top left, at the wedding). He did so just four days before an eight-hour operation to 're-plumb' his insides. Mr Davey is lucky to be in the less than 10 per cent who were eligible for life-saving surgery, as the lethal form of the disease is so difficult to spot. Mr Davey refers to himself as a 'lucky man', having met a 'surprise' grandchild two years after his life-saving surgery (pictured top right, with Regan, five months, Riley, eight, and Freddie,10).
