Bowel cancer survival rates are much higher the earlier the disease is diagnosed, so familiarise yourself with the symptoms 👇
If you experience any of these symptoms for 3 or more weeks, speak to your GP as soon as possible. Early diagnosis saves lives.

Woohoo! Finally achieved the fully green bar! I've still a lot to improve on, but what a contrast to the "overreaching" and "strained" statuses I was getting 18 months ago, when I was half marathon training while anaemic with bowel cancer and didn't know. #Running #RunSky #BowelCancer 💚

Cancer Home bowel screening kit threshold to be lowered NHS England will lowerthe detection threshold for a home screening kit to trigger bowel cancer screening from February, in a move that it says will lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment for thousands of people. The faecal immunochemical test is offered to all people aged over 50 years to check for blood in a small stool sample as a possible sign of bowel cancer. The detection threshold that triggers an urgent cancertest will be reduced from 120 ug of blood per gram of stool to 80 ug, in line with the current threshold in Scotland and Wales.
Poo testing in England to come into line with poo testing in Scotland and Wales.
There must be scope for a few humorous headlines here?!
