A four -whisper father whose any sign of fatal colon cancer was a disturbing stomach pain, died eight months after he was told that he had the disease.
Kyle Ingram-Baldwin, 40, had just launched fundraising on 8 June to pay for alternative treatments because he was ‘not willing to give up’.
But in a heartbreaking position on the financing platform, his wife Becky confirmed that he had died on June 16.
“Unfortunately, Kyle took a very sudden and unexpected turn and we lost him yesterday,” she wrote.
“He was the most incredible man I have ever met, and I know he would like me to thank everyone for all you and donations.”
His death comes in the midst of a disturbing trend of younger adults who are diagnosed of the devastating disease.
Ingram-Baldwin, from Minster, Kent, originally sought help from his doctor in October after a persistent stomach pain that he suspected was linked to stress or gallstones.
But after the pain got worse, he went to A&E where scans revealed the real devastating cause.

An ultrasound showed disturbing bulges on his liver, with a follow-up CT scan that confirmed that this was cancer.
Further tests revealed that these were secondary growths of a cancer that had arisen in its intestine.
This meant that the disease was already in stage, the last and most serious stage.
Only 10 percent of colon cancer patients who are diagnosed in stage four live five years later, according to Cancer Research UK.
Remembering when he got the news, Mr. Ingram-Baldwin said that the mental toll was extraordinary.
“I thought, what’s going on here? What did I do wrong? I blamed my own feet and worried about the future for my wife and children, “he said.
“That is probably the most difficult-the mental side.
“Don’t get me wrong, the physical is not funny either, but it’s a mental challenge.”
Colon cancer can ensure that you have blood in your shit, a change in intestinal habit or a lump in your intestine that can cause an obstruction. Some people also suffer from weight loss due to these symptoms
Mr Ingram-Baldwin, who worked for a supplier of vending machines, underwent more than half a dozen rounds of debilitating chemotherapy.
But unfortunately this could not control the disease.
Shortly before his death, Mr Ingram-Baldwin spoke about how the cancer had influenced his wife, and children of 12, nine, three and one.
‘It is really difficult to put into words, because I love my children so much. You are just worried about their future, “he said.
“They have the best mother in the world, and I really mean that. My wife is incredible. ‘
He insisted in other patients not to reject signs that something is not good in their bodies.
“I’ve had none of the conventional symptoms,” he said.
“If you think something is wrong, press your doctor and check it, because I really don’t want someone to be in my position.”
Symptoms of colon cancer include changes in bowel movements such as diarrhea or constipation, which need or feel the need to empty your intestines more or less often, blood in stool, stomach pain, bloated feeling, as well as unexpected weight loss and fatigue.
Stomach pain such as the Lord Ingram-Baldwin experienced, a lump in the stomach, a bloated feeling and fatigue include common signs.
Ingram-Baldwin is not the only one affected by a devastating diagnosis of colon cancer as a young adult.
Experts have noticed a relevant and mysterious increase in disease of disease in young adults, defined in terms of cancer than that younger than 50.
A recent worldwide study showed that the percentages of colon cancer in fewer than 50-year-olds rise in 27 of the 50 countries.
England is on average an increase of 3.6 percent with younger adults registered every year of the highest increases.
Although the disease is known to obesity, experts have noticed that the disease also appears to prevent fit and healthy patients.
Some experts believe that the explanation must be in environmental factors that are exposed to young people to more than previous generations.
Although no ‘smoking gun’ has been found, there are several theories.
These include modern chemicals in diets, microplastics, pollution and a recent study have even attached the increase in exposure to E.Coli in food.
Every year there are approximately 2,600 new cases of new colon cancer in people aged 25-49 in Great Britain and around 44,100 new cases among all ages.
Every year in the UK, around 44,000 cases of colon cancer are diagnosed, with around 130,000 in the US.
The disease kills nearly 17,000 British every year, with the death toll rising to around 50,000 in America.
In general, it is expected that just over half of the colon cancer patients will live 10 years after their diagnosis.
More than £ 15,000 was picked up in the urge of Mr. Ingram-Baldwin for alternative treatments.
Mrs. Ingram-Baldwin has now confirmed that the amount would now be again financed as donors.
She insisted on people to consider donating the money to a good cause or to use it to ‘make memories with your families’.
