When offered #Bowelscreen just do it . There's a push for checking prostates that unfortunately is much less beneficial than screening for colon cancer, but poor uptake for bowelscreen.
Bowel cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer death in Ireland after lung cancer.

Remember:
✅Screening is for people who are well - if you have worrying symptoms, visit your GP
😢Uptake of bowel screening is low - please encourage everyone in the age range to do the test
😊If you do it once, it is much easier next time round!
💩Bowel cancer is shite, trust me
