The consultation with Mr Waller the surgeon went better than first thought. Firstly a quick chest scan, which was clear, great now to the big man himself. Apparently I was on the wrong anti-biotics and told to discontinue these and take a new batch for the next 5 days ........that's it, .......all that worry for nothing....... I'm sure other cancer patients would agree, that when a strange phone call comes in from the hospital on a Sunday afternoon, or any day of the week come to that (Its happened to me twice and its always been bad news) you do tend to worry........................ OK.................

It is staggering that a quarter of bowel cancer sufferers are only diagnosed after being admitted to hospital as an emergency.

England Scotland and Wales have a bowel cancer screening programme in place
"Compared with breast and cervical screening, bowel screening uptake is worryingly low, particularly among men. This study is an important reminder for people to complete their bowel screening kit when it arrives in the post."
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK with more than 41,000 people diagnosed with the disease each year - over 100 people each day.
The bowel screening programme has only been fully up and running in England since 2010 but it is thought it will eventually save around 2,000 lives each year in
I am aware that this blog has been viewed in Fifty Four countries so far (Click Here to See) or on the Cluster Map) I would love to hear from others, especially if you have a screening programme in your country or have used the screening programme in your country.
