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.

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.
