Episode 11: Bowel Cancer – Don’t Ignore the FIT Test
The conversation centres around the importance of the FIT test (Faecal Immunochemical Test) — a simple at-home screening tool sent to people aged 60 to 74 in the post. It’s easy to ignore, but doing so could cost you your life.
Elizabeth and Charlotte talk candidly about the symptoms of bowel cancer, the importance of early detection, and why everyone eligible should take the FIT test seriously. The message is clear: don’t ignore it.
Topics include:
• What the FIT test is and how it works
• Symptoms of bowel cancer to watch for
• Why early detection dramatically improves outcomes
• Personal insights from health professionals
Call to Action:
If you or someone you love receives a FIT test in the post — use it and return it. It could save your life.
