"You can prevent bowel cancer by doing a simple home test every year."
"I wish I had".
"G'day, Coxy here. I was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer. I had an
inkling that something wasn't quite right, but truth is, I kept putting
it off and off, until my wife forced me to get tested.
It was a huge shock when they told me I had a tumour the size of a cricket
ball in my bowel that would require major surgery to remove.
Imagine how stupid I felt when I discovered that if I'd done a simple
home bowel cancer test a lot earlier, I might have avoided major surgery,
and not put my life at risk. Typical bloke, too busy to look after my
health. See, without testing, it's impossible to detect the early signs
of bowel cancer - our second-biggest cancer killer, which takes the lives
of almost 100 Australian men and women each week, that's about one person
every two hours.
So if you're over 50 or have a family history of bowel cancer, please
take some time to look around this web site - especially the SCREEN
NOW button - and do a FOB test! I wish I had."
