Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that you are never too young to take bowel symptoms seriously 💙
While the risk of bowel cancer increases with age, cases in younger Australians are rising. Symptoms should never be ignored, no matter your age.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as:
▪ Blood in your stool
▪ Changes in bowel habits
▪ Ongoing abdominal pain
▪ Unexplained weight loss
▪ Persistent fatigue
Speak with your GP. Early investigation and prompt referral for further testing, including a colonoscopy where appropriate, can make a significant difference.
When detected early, bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers.
This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, know the signs, trust your instincts, and don’t delay speaking with your doctor.
