i have been sent a letter from NHS to say they are sending me a kit, is it easy to do, sorry if its early to talk about such matters, but i guess now is as good a time as any..
yes they do, you have to drink 2 litres of this vile liquid first to empty the bowels. it is one of the most awful things i have been through, 3 times now.
I knew someone who was "petite", five foot nothing.
She suffered from Crohn's Disease. Someone asked her what it affected.
"The colon"
"Oh, I see.............. or in your case the semi-colon."
You wouldn't want to leave your chinese tray on the bus when delivering your sample .. someone might might not recognize it as a colonoscopy sample and mistake it for a king prawn curry !
Bowel scope screening ( a camera up the bum)was done as a trial in some areas instead of the poo kit but has been discontinued.
Colonoscopies are still going ahead. Colonoscopies are not done under the bowel screening programme.
Yes, you’ve said emmie, but they’re not, and never have been, part of the bowel screening programme as some seem to think. A different less invasive technique was used but it has been discontinued.
