New Posts For Thread: Poo sticks time again!https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30617089/poo-sticks-time-againGot my third pack of test kit to check for Bowel Cancer (sent out every two years).Must be a pretty costly exercise, but the trade off may be long term savings by catching it early.Fantastic initiative by "The NHS" along with the travelling MammograpI've had 2 lots of kits over the last few years but probably stupidly I haven't returned them.Like bigmo it repulsed me and I couldn't be arsed sending them back. No pun intended.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30617089/poo-sticks-time-again?post_id=546874285#546874285I've had 2 lots of kits over the last few years but probably stupidly I haven't returned them.Like bigmo it repulsed me and I couldn't be arsed sending them back.

Although when the camera is in your innards, they do remove any polyps that might be growing there.These form the early stages of the cancers.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30617089/poo-sticks-time-again?post_id=546869315#546869315If the pack is only sent out every two years, you could easily die of it in between tests.
