The things you have to do today it’s poo 💩 on a stick for a Bowel Cancer test.
Apparently at a certain age 50-72 you are ‘invited’ to do it every two years.
Best to I’d say. |  |

This is what my wife calls "oversharing". |  |

A friends wife had no symptoms at all but her cancer was caught by this test and surgery saved her life.
It’s a no brainer! |  | | |

Good to be open and honest on this subject. A friend recently had part of his bowel removed due to cancer, he’s 40. If something doesn’t feel right, get checked, no matter what your age [Post edited 9 Dec 7:48]

I've always struggled with holding it up at the same time as trying to poo directly on it. Very easy to miss and poo on your own hand by accident. |  | | |

Yes, I did mine a couple of months ago. Apparently they didn't need the KFC bucket completely full.
But seriously, well worth it, despite the shenanigans of collecting the sample without it going in the water. |  |

They could always stick a camera up your bum for a look around, if you prefer. |  |

I put lots of paper in the water first. Minimal contact that way. |  |

Find the easiest way to do it is to get a Budgie supporter to help. They’re used to dealing with cr*p and the extra finger means they stand a better chance of catching it as it falls. |  |

Had mine earlier this year. If caught early, it's one of the more treatable cancers. I know we watched a lot of sh1t during the Marcus Evans era, so this shouldn't be hard for us lot here. |  |

I had that done about 10 years ago before home testing became a thing. |  | | |

Likewise. Not the happiest of experiences.
‘You can watch it all on the screen’ said the man in the mask. ‘You’ve got to be ffing joking!’ said I and endured the torment holding the hand of a pretty nurse.
If given the opportunity, take the test. It could literally save your life. |  | | |

Did similar in mid-November as part of the medical offered by the company I work for. Medical has highlighted my PSA has risen by 50% since last year, so I'm off for an MRI sometime in the near future.
If you're fortunate enough to have the opportunity for a medical kids, take it. (That said, GP surgeries are starting to roll out similar services). |  | | |

That sounds infinitely easier than the camera I had inside the bladder earlier this year. There's only one way that goes in. |  |

Toilet roll is your friend in that scenario. |  | | |

Definitely get checked. I had stage 3 bowel cancer at the age of 34. I went to an asthma review and at the end asked the doctor about a slight worry I had. It saved my life. |  | | |

I watched it while it was down my throat the specialist said ‘interesting isn’t it’ i replied ‘sort of’ . | |

I've had that one, the backside one and the bladder one, but for me worse than all of them was a Barium enema. Totally bloated by the pressure they inject the stuff with and passing white sludge for ages afterwards. | | | |

WHen I was getting tested I used to wear one of these surgical type gloves and poo into my hand.
Last year was the last time for the testing, but they managed to lose it.
Still it always made a change sending sh*t in the post instead of receiving it. | | | |

I do hope they did throat first, or at least cleaned the camera in between. | |
