After initially dismissing rectal bleeding as piles, Sheikh Haikel was eventually diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to his liver. 

He joins Let’s Talk, Singapore with his wife Anna Belle Francis to talk about what happened, how their family navigated the diagnosis and treatment, and what his experience can teach us about listening to our bodies and seeking medical attention.
