There's reflections on Dai Henwood's positive impact on improving awareness of bowel cancer. The 48-year-old comedian died today, six years after developing the disease. He kept performing comedy throughout his treatment, and produced a book and documentary series on his cancer journey. Friend and manager Richard Carrington says he's had rafts of emails describing how Henwood's story helped them. "I've had a number of people say they went and got colon testing and they found something. So I can say that he actually saved lives." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
