June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month!
Bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week (5,372 people a year), but it's one of the most treatable cancers when detected early.
While the risk increases with age, bowel cancer affects people of all ages. No one is too young for bowel cancer.
Remember the signs of bowel cancer to look out for:
Blood in your poo
Obvious change in your bowel habit
Weight loss you can’t explain
Extreme tiredeness for no reason
Lump or swelling in your abdomen
Talk to your doctor about screening today. Early detection saves lives.
