Bowel cancer is becoming more and more in younger people, under the age of 50, which is the current screening age. Bowel cancer can easily go undiagnosed with no symptoms until it’s too late. With early diagnosis it can easily be treated. A simple Fit test sent through the post for you to do at home, can identify bowel cancer and get diagnosed early.
