Guess What Dropped On My Doormat This Morning?!

It was my Bowel Cancer Test kit! This is the fourth I have received over the years! In the past, two of my tests came back 'unclear' and I cried for days with the worry.
Have you ever received one of these test kits? Do you complete the test or do you throw them in the bin as some do?!!

Whilst not the most exciting, fun package to arrive through your letterbox ..... it's best to make use of it.

Having had my mum die of undiagnosed bowel cancer I shall when I qualify as it really is one that depends on catching it quick enough at the early stages.

I always use them when they arrive Art.
It is best not taking a chance of dying through bowel cancer like that if you don't.
I don't like using the ruddy things, but needs must.

I always do the tests.Think it's very important.If only the test was around when my Dad was alive-he would have been diagnosed with bowel cancer before it was too late for him.

Please don't throw them in the bin!
My sister had no symptoms of bowel cancer at all, she was a vegan, kept herself fit all her life.
If it hadn't been for the test kit she wouldn't have known she had bowel cancer!
Unfortunately despite the very best treatment it had spread to her liver and after three years of chemotherapy she died.
If only the tests had been available earlier it may have been caught in the earlier stages.
Please don't die of embarrassment, take the test!

Nom I know someone who has reason to be grateful to the test, without it he may not still be with us.
