Celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie has told how he has just weeks to live after being diagnosed with a deadly cancer. The star, who has a string of awards this name and created the wedge cut, told The Morning viewers he was found to have terminal bowel cancer in June. He said medics then gave him just six months to live.
Speaking on the show he said: "I lost a lot of blood one night and was unusually disturbed so went to hospital. "They told me I had bowel cancer and I had a little panic attack. I looked at Carole and she looked at me, we were both speechless, didn’t know what to say.
So I went and had a big gin and tonic and that helped." Trevor, who is married to wife Carole, told how the disease had spread this liver. he had two six and a half hour operations but continued to work until two weeks ago as that was his "medicine".
He added: “But the thing is with me, I never wake up thinking, ‘Oh poor me, I’ve got cancer’ or feel sorry for myself, I know I've got it here [points to stomach] but I haven’t got it here [point to head] and I’ve been going to work two days a week, up until two weeks ago. " He added: "That’s my life. Sixty years I’ve worked passionately to achieve beyond my wildest dreams.
When I go in it’s my staff, I’ve had them for 30 years, I’m just one of the team. "I had a nurse come round the other day to assess me and as I asked ‘Will I make Christmas ?’ She said ‘I don’t know Trevor’. "I said ‘I damn well will.
The brai.
