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

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,

if it wasn’t for Dame Deborah James’ story resonating in my ears then I wouldn’t have thought to go either!Thank you Bowelbabe 🫶 7/7

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

to be honest, I was just lucky (and thankful) that I got a GP who didn’t turn me away regardless of my age, subtle symptoms and the fact that I’m not a walking red flag for bowel cancer. Also the fact that he really didn’t think that I’d be facing cancer but here I am! 5/7

My consultant said that surgery is often the ‘gold standard treatment’ for early bowel cancer so the hope is that no further treatment will be needed 🤞but will know more when results are back. He also said well done for getting it checked out but… 4/7

and on 15th Nov I was diagnosed with early bowel cancer. I’m 40! Less than 4wks since my diagnosis and before having time to process the news, I had bowel resection surgery to remove my sigmoid colon and I’m now awaiting the biopsy result to know the exact stage. 3/7

Mid Oct I visited the GP following a few days (that I know of) of very subtle symptoms and whilst I don’t tick any of the risk factor boxes and GP didn’t think it was anything sinister, he investigated anyway. A positive FIT Test and fast track colonoscopy followed… 2/7

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
