🍎 Red Apple Day for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Today our team is showing their support for Red Apple Day, a national initiative helping to raise awareness of bowel cancer and the importance of early detection.
Why a red apple? The red apple is the symbol of bowel cancer awareness in Australia, representing a simple but powerful reminder to prioritise bowel health and take part in screening when eligible.
Bowel cancer is one of Australia’s most common cancers, yet many people are unaware that it can develop without any symptoms in its early stages. That’s why screening is so important.
Some symptoms of bowel cancer can include:
🔴 Changes in bowel habits
🔴 Blood in your stool or bleeding from the re**um
🔴 Unexplained weight loss
🔴 Ongoing abdominal pain or bloating
🔴 Fatigue or unexplained anaemia
If you are aged 45 to 74, you may be eligible for a free bowel screening kit through the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
🍎 Visiting the clinic today? Swing by reception and grab a red apple while stocks last as we help spread awareness for bowel cancer.
