Bowel or colon cancer is the biggest killer cancer of non-smokers in the UK. It shouldn't be, as this type of cancer is treatable and curable, all the more so if it is detected at an early stage. 

No one likes to talk about their bowels but it's really important not to ignore the symptoms of colon cancer, and to report them to your doctor without delay.  Early diagnosis saves lives.  

Symptoms can include (but are not limited to): a change in bowel habit; blood in your stool (poo); abdominal pain; unexplained tiredness or unexpected weight loss. For more detail on the signs and symptoms of colon cancer please click here
