Bowel Screening Time Again !

[mikey4444]

It must be 2 years since I did this last. I know its got to be done but its hardly the most pleasant of tasks is it ?

Does anyone know anybody that has had bowel cancer detected with this little kit before ?

why methyl?

I appreciate that you were among the one third of cases who are not picked up by this test retrocop, and that you feel let down by this.
However at the moment, until better screening is generally available, it is certainly better than nothing, as long as one realises the limitations of the test, and that even if the test is negative, any worrying bowel symptoms should be reported promptly.
I am surprised that your GP did not know the limitations of the test and the failure rate.

[Bathsheba]

I'm gobsmacked as well gness. He told me earlier to leave the thread, but that post has been removed.

[gness]

I didn't see that, Baths......I have no idea what he means.....and why he's requested that.........puzzling....??

I am not a regular on this site.
I have read all except deleted posts.
I see nothing wrong in Bathsheba's posts.
Why Methyl do you want them removed?

[Bathsheba]

indeed gness, I can't see anything I have posted on this thread which could have caused offence to anyone.

[Bathsheba]

hello Pete, and welcome to the great mystery!

[gness]

Methyl.....would you care to explain?

[Pete65]

Hello, Bathsheba,
I would post in your normal fashion and ignore Methyl.
As far as I am aware it is not his/her site to ask whosoever to remove your posts.
Nothing in the slightest wrong with them!

[Bathsheba]

Thank you Pete....appreciated x

[Pete65]

You are welcome, Bathsheba.
The poster Methyl could well be a troll and should not be encouraged.
Goodnight.

[Bathsheba]

G'night Pete.

[gness]

Oh well....most odd...Night Baths...x

[Mamyalynne]

Methyl, thank you for your advice and though I am sure it is well intentioned, I don't require it.


Maay I say I think your behaviour on this thread towards Bathsheba is disgraceful.


Night everyone.

[Bathsheba]

G'night Mamya, and thank you for your support.
G'night gness

Thanks to everybody...very full and interesting replies.

A special thanks to Retrocop....quite a harrowing story. I hope you have made a full recovery my friend.
