Pure and utter ignorance. This is why education is important. This idiotic woman does not deserve health screening.

This arrived today, didn’t ask for it, have no intention of using it, how much bloody money are the NHS wasting on this??? 😡

The NHS automatically sends bowel cancer screening kits every 2 years to eligible people aged 50-74; the FIT program is cost-effective and results in net savings through early detection. nhs.uk/tests-and-trea… bmjopen.bmj.com/content/7/10/e…

Steve was diagnosed with #BowelCancer in 2013. We hope by sharing Steve’s story this brings someone a bit of comfort this #PallCareWeek. We have a private stage 4 Facebook group as we know it can help to talk to others who understand. Join below👇 bit.ly/3RvnChB
On the left is a picture of Steve. On the right is a quote from him. The quote reads "Officially I’m classed as ‘incurable’ and am therefore on a form of palliative care. However, I don’t view this as the end, it’s my stimulus to make the most of things and enjoy my life. I’ve learnt that a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer doesn’t have to mean the end of your life, it can be the reason to start living it."

Alton was diagnosed with stage 3 #BowelCancer at just 30 years old. We wanted to thank him for sharing his story and being so honest with his experience💛 Read his full story: bit.ly/36OV5Mg
On the left is a picture of Alton, he is topless with his stoma bag proudly out. On the right is a quote from Alton. The quote says "I think after a cancer diagnosis you realise what's important in life. It certainly puts things into perspective. I have two young children and I needed to remain positive for them."

We’ve put together a list of questions you may want to ask at follow up appointments after finishing #BowelCancer treatment💛 Our 'Living well after bowel cancer treatment' booklet is here to support you. Download a copy: bit.ly/2QaejWY
Off white background. In dark teal it says 'Questions to ask at your follow up appointments'. Below is a animation of a piece of paper with a pen to the side and a list. The list includes these questions: - What are the chances of the cancer coming back? - Where can I get help with dealing with side effects? - Who should I contact if I notice any new symptoms? - Are there any health and wellbeing events that I can go to? - What long-term or late side effects might I get? - Where can I find support to make lifestyle changes?

If something in your body doesn’t feel right, the thought it could be cancer can play on your mind. But most people who go for tests find out it’s not cancer. Finding out sooner is always better. Contact your GP practice. #HelpUsHelpYou
