Bowel Cancer Test.

[carrust]

Only 1 day left to do on my test pack.....Oh what joy:-@

Yes, i know how you feel. Ive done the home test too. I was recently offered it again a few weeks back but i declined it this time as i had visitors from abroad.I will do it next time though. Its nice when you get the results and know all is well.

Hi carrust,isn't it nice to have something to look forward to,the highlight of the day,seriously very well worthwhile doing the test and having peace of mind.

[carrust]

I've played poo sticks before, but never like this:-)

[marval]

My OH has just got his results back, it is good to know all is well. Well worth doing then.

[vakayu]

Keeps you out of mischief then,when it's finished you won't know what to do with all your spare time eh!

I seem to have had a year of it this year, and only in May.!! Bowel screening test, smear test and the week later my mammogram.!! Two results back are good now just waiting for the third one.! Oh joys of growing old.!!

[sunny-dave]

Mine arrived today - indeed it is officially Poo Sticks time again.

[Mosaic]

Oh fer heavens sake! try going through the standard cervical smear test and see how you'd like that!

[tonyav]

At what age do you get these test kits ?.

[sunny-dave]

I would if I could Mosaic :)

[Mosaic]

In the swinging sixtis Tone

[vakayu]

I think it is 50 yrs and upwards.

[Mosaic]

How very dare you Sunny Dave

[tonyav]

Dave, the next thing will be ' i'ts a good job you men don't have to give birth' ! lol. ;-)

[Mosaic]

Oh, it's a good job you men....damn, beat me to it Tone

[tonyav]

In the swingin sixties then, right. I'm in my 50's and I haven't had one.

[Mosaic]

That'll be why then.

[sunny-dave]

Indeed Mosaic :)

But although my reply looked (and possibly was) facetious, I actually meant that I'd take up any cancer screening test offered to me.

I volunteered for the Poo Sticks when it was originally being trialled in the West Midlands (even though I was under the suggested age) and have been on the rota ever since.

[vakayu]

Tonyav if you were in Scotland you would have had one already 50-74.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, wonder why different rules between England and Scotland.
