In our recent survey women were asked to name the top three cancers they were most at risk of. Worryingly women identified cervical and ovarian cancer, as more common for them than bowel cancer.

It is crucial that women identify their risk of bowel cancer and get to know the symptoms. Symptom awareness is especially important with this disease, as if caught in its early stages, 9 out of 10 cases can be successfully treated.

We recommend visiting your doctor if you have any concerns or speak to one of our nurses about any aspect of bowel cancer and bowel health on 0800 8 40 35 40 or email support@bowelcanceruk.org.uk.
