Blog 175 Thursday 19th September 2013

Every so often I get several "Hits" on this blog from different areas of the same country all within the space of a few days.

I've had a few visits from around America recently Hi you guys !! ...I see even Meryl Streep is getting involved in spreading the word about Colon Cancer in America. in the

Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign

Back to the UK .........................I am truly amazed that so many people are out there spreading the word about Colon/Bowel Cancer and so much good information is on the Web. People on social media sites all raising cash and awareness for the various charities and yet there are still people who don't know the symptoms of Bowel Cancer and still people turning up at A &E for some emergency treatment only to be told they are in the latter stages of bowel cancer.

Cancer Research UK has some great information and only a click away

Please also visit Bowel Cancer UK 

The symptoms of bowel (colorectal) cancer can be:
  • Bleeding from your bottom and/or blood in your poo
  • A change in bowel habit lasting for 3 weeks or more especially to looser or runny poo
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Extreme tiredness for no obvious reason
  • A pain or lump in your tummy
You might experience one, some, all of the above or no symptoms at all. Remember most symptoms will not be bowel cancer.
