Scared about getting a BreastScreen done? Don’t be!

Dr Bec went for her first one and what did she have to say? “Not scary. Not painful. Super quick”.

Of course this experience may vary but it’s a great free test for screening for breast cancer.

It’s important to remember a screening test like this is done when you have *no* symptoms. Cancerous changes, especially early ones, can happen even if we don’t have symptoms yet. Other tests may be needed if you have a lump, bump or pain so see your GP for those first. This is not to be afraid but to make use of the great testing we do have available.

Women age 40-49 may elect to have one based on their risk and all women age 50-74 are offered screening mammograms every 2 years.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early?

The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program is a simple and effective way to detect early signs of bowel cancer, often before symptoms develop. Early detection can make a significant difference and may save lives.

The good news is that free bowel cancer screening is now available to all Australians aged 45 to 74 years through the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.

Unfortunately, fewer than half of eligible Australians currently complete their bowel screening test. If participation increased to 60%, an estimated 84,000 lives could be saved by 2040.

If you're aged 45 or over and have received a bowel screening kit in the mail, don't put it aside. The test is free, simple to complete at home, and could be lifesaving.

Not sure if you're due for screening or have questions about your bowel health?
Make an appointment with one of our GPs - they are here to help - simply jump on HotDoc or call our team on 07 3554 0312.
