Bowel Cancer Kits

Motion sickness : "Your birthday present from the federal Government includes some medical paraphernalia and a note requesting a sample of your poo. Not the sort of thing you'd put on a gift register, certainly."

We have one of the highest bowel cancer rates int he world. Why? It is one of the preventable cancers, isn't it? The kits will come in the mail and I can tell you it is worth it. My sister in law had bowel cancer, radical sugery , lives with a bag and does very well indeed. She has had a couple of scares since with the belief she had liver cancer, but it's from a disease earlier in her life, not cancer. She is a remarkable woman who got all the facts and then made a hard headed business decision. You do not need bowel cancer. Laugh all you like about the kits...it sounds really hilarious to send back a specimen ...but this way you and your family are being looked after in a really kind way. The state and federal governements could just let it all go...put in your test. But we also need some facts and figures so we can rid ourselves of this disease...and the samples will help collect the data needed for prevention.
