Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...
I just received mine too, this is only the third one I have received, the last one was a couple of years ago but the one before that was when I turned 65.Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...
I had bowel cancer for the first time when I was thirty, with two small children. This was treated successfully by surgery. I remained cancer free then until December 2015 (2 weeks before Christmas). I underwent surgery/chemotherapy in January 2016 and am still here to tell the tale.Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...

Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...
keep getting reminders and kits through the post and a damn nuisance. Very little instruction other than shoving something up or around your backside for some obscure person to examine what is sent back. What if samples get mixed up? yes it could happen, and think of the outcome. Someone clear thinking they may die in the near future and others who fall ill and don't know why.Re: Oh No!

Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...
I agree JBR. When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer eighteen months ago I had absolutely no idea. I had no symptoms whatsoever, I had just gone for a routine (for me and my children) colonoscopy. The doctor had the camera up my rear end, I was watching on screen, when he said "Well there is definitely bowel cancer there". Not the most tactful way to tell a patient imo. I was poleaxed. I had surgery within two weeks, and then was booked for thirty weekly chemo sessions. Unfortunately those made me too ill to continue, so I called a halt to them.Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...

Re: Oh No! Bowel Screening...
I have done four or more of these tests and had to do two re-tests!
