Blog 84 Saturday 28th January 2012

A few blogs ago (Blog 79) I mentioned that the food service industry is spreading the word of healthy eating and I included links to an article on "Poor Diet raises Cancer Risk". The article by Cancer Research UK was based on risks highlighted in the British Journal of Cancer specifically targeting processed foods.

Today, I was very pleased to receive an article from an "old" police chum, Iain. The article had appeared in the NARPO magazine. (National Association of Retired Police Officers) and it included a link to a campaign called "One Click" http://www.bowelcancer.tv/oneclickcampaign/

It is so good to see that, once more, we can spread the word, the article is written by Geoff Stuttaford, the secretary Health & Safety Committee, Police Federation England and Wales. Geoff was invited by Lynn Fauld Wood to attend the House of Lords, for a summit on bowel cancer. Lynn is a cancer survivor and was once a TV presenter for Watchdog. It appears from her story, that Lynn suffered rectal bleeding and was diagnosed as suffering piles. Lynn later found she had bowel cancer at an advanced stage. See Lynns story on You Tube.  As previously blogged, I was diagnosed with "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" and later after colonoscopy discovered I had an advanced stage of bowel cancer which has since spread to my lungs. Once again the story is early diagnosis saves lives
