First Dates star candidly shares the enduring impact of cancer
Merlin Griffiths reveals lasting effects of treatment
First Dates star Merlin Griffiths has candidly shared the enduring impact of his cancer battle, confessing that he'll never be the same again. The Cheltenham-born star was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018 and underwent extensive treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy.
Living with the consequences
In a recent interview, Griffiths opened up about the lasting effects of his cancer treatment, which include fatigue, digestive issues, and a weakened immune system. He says that he has to be careful about what he eats and how much he exerts himself, and that he has to take medication to boost his immune system.
Despite the challenges, Griffiths says that he's grateful to be alive and that he's determined to live his life to the fullest. He's continuing to work as a TV presenter and is also involved in several charities that support cancer patients.
