Gaffney was taken for further tests which confirmed he had polyps in his large intestine, and was operated on immediately.and its medical team saved my life," Gaffney said."I might not be here today if it wasn't for them finding what they did. Within hours I was in a hospital gown and under general anaesthetic and they took it out."
Following the operation, Gaffney said that the doctor issued him a warning, saying:"Had you not come to us today, in three years that could have turned to bowel cancer. You've been very lucky."
