BOWEL cancer is the UK’s second biggest cancer killer but it doesn’t have to be.
Early diagnosis is the key to saving lives from this disease.
Bowel cancer screening is available free to anyone over 60 in England, but currently only about half of those eligible are taking part.
As part of its Be Loud Be Clear awareness week (24-30 January), Beating Bowel Cancer is launching the 1,2,3 Campaign to encourage people to take up screening.
In a short film I demonstrate how to complete the screening kit in easy to follow steps and show that bowel cancer screening really is as easy as 1,2,3.
