We have a family song, to the tune of “Catch a falling star”

Catch a falling poo and put it in a packet
Send it to the NHS
They will test it and send you a letter
Saying if you’re sick or not

No, it doesn’t scan, but we enjoy it anyway each time one of us gets the sticks in the post!

How lovely. So in the autumn I can expect Pooh stix, mammogram and smear. There’s something to look forward to.

Thanks FDNB

It's pretty unclear date-wise.

"Everyone aged 60 to 74 who is registered with a GP and lives in England is automatically sent a bowel cancer screening kit every 2 years. The programme is expanding to include 56 year olds in 2021."

So, will they be sending it out to everyone 56, 57, 58, 59 and 60, then 62 up?
Or just 56 and then 60 up, as the wording technically states?
Or 56, 58 and 60 up as the wording possibly implies?

That’s an interesting link Frag, thank you. I asked at my surgery just a couple of weeks ago as there is a strong family history and was told that I wasn’t eligible until age 60 (I’m 58 now).
