So here it is, my new scene. Filmed by the wonderful @tv_arts with the best scene partner EVER - my daughter ☺️ mediaviewer.spotlight.com/me… @SupportBritish
I live in the South West and was also able to access the We Hear You (WHY) charity for counselling sessions following my bowel cancer treatment. 16 sessions at a price/donation you can afford or free if money is tight. See website - wehearyou.org.uk
For first day of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we’re recognising the impact that #BowelCancer can have on your mental health.

Today marks the start of #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth and we need your help! Share this post to raise vital awareness. 📢
Nine in 10 people survive bowel cancer when diagnosed at the earliest stages. That's why we’re asking you to help share life-saving awareness about the disease.

We know there's a lot in the news about #BowelCancer right now, so we want to take a moment to share the symptoms that can help spot the disease early.
The earlier it’s found, the more treatable it’s likely to be.
These symptoms don’t always mean cancer, but it’s important to speak to your GP to find out what's causing them.

ALT Infographic titled "Know the symptoms of bowel cancer". Below is a list of the symptoms which includes: "Bleeding from your bottom, blood in your poo, a change in how often you poo, or regularly having diarrhoea or constipation, losing weight but you're not sure why, feeling tired all the time but your not sure why, a pain or lump in your tummy". Each symptom's represented by a icon.

Today @NHSEngland has announced that it will lower the threshold at which home-screening kits for bowel cancer will trigger a referral for further testing 📢
The NHS estimates that this change will lead to 35% more screening colonoscopies each year in England to help diagnose, rule out or even prevent bowel cancer.

It’s #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth and we’re launching our #PassItOn campaign.
Today we’re passing on this key message. Having symptoms doesn’t always mean you have #BowelCancer. But it’s still important to find out what’s causing them.

Now I don’t have celeb status, a big following or platform but if my story reaches one person and makes a difference then that’s all that matters. So here it is a 🧵 1/7 @bowelcanceruk @nevertooyounguk #nevertooyoung
It’s been an absolute whirlwind so far so time to heal and process it all is much needed but I feel it’s important to share my story, even if it only gets one person to check their 💩 and go to the GP because something isn’t quite right for them. Because honestly… 6/7
