The Health Service is providing free bowel cancer testing for individuals aged 50 to 74 over the next month. Interested participants can contact Anna Bowers or Dinah Fowler at the phone numbers 25818 or 25949 to arrange for a test sample kit.
Eligible individuals are encouraged to undergo testing as early detection increases the chances of successful treatment. For those uncertain about taking the test, it is recommended to request the home sample kit and review the accompanying materials before deciding. The kit includes complete instructions for use, and test results will be available within four weeks. If necessary, individuals may be asked to consult with a doctor regarding their results.
For further inquiries about this initiative, individuals can call 25818 or 25949 or consult their doctor.
