My third testing kit is on it's way apparently - doesn't seem two years since my last one. How these days fly by.

I must say Bruce, your testing kit looks more elaborate than ours. We get a strip of sticks and a card to wipe the sh... poo on plus a return envelope.

Backside wiping kit? Not here. You just put the liner in your loo on the surface of the water, do your business, take the stick from the first container and collect a sample (less than a grain of rice). Put back in the container and shake it up. Flush the toilet.

Repeat later that day or next day for the second container, seal both in ziplock bag and post in jiffy bag together with the completed form (not in photo)



Now you have all the gory details. Well, almost... there is one panel missing but that merely tells you to repeat this procedure for the second tube later that day or the next.

Re: It's Testing Time...

We have to pull open a little cardboard window, apply the smear with the cardboard stick and close the window....

When we've taken all three samples and sealed the windows then it goes into the jiffy bag and into the post box....

I did mine earlier this year and the results came back negative.....

Re: It's Testing Time...

Did mine this morning. Last time it was 3 separate samples taken on 3 separate days as OGF described.

Different this time, just one sample required using a little ridged stick thingy then put that inside a sterile plastic bottle/tube type thingy, put that in the cardboard envelope and post off.

Re: It's Testing Time...

I tried it because I heard it helps to prevent insomnia. It didn't work for me.

...Oh no, that was the post I made in the 'CBD Oil' thread wasn't it.

I got the results of the bowel cancer test back last week and all is well.
