North East Herts MP Oliver Heald is supporting Lynn Faulds Wood, the former BBC Watchdog presenter, in her campaign to raise awareness of bowel cancer. Lynn herself was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer after a year of medical delay. Thankfully she survived and now devotes most of her time - unpaid – to helping to save others. The campaign aims to encourage everyone to get to know the key symptoms and to get involved in the NHS screening programme for bowel cancer.
Commenting Oliver Heald said, “Bowel cancer is a common cancer which kills almost half the people who develop it. Few people talk about it – yet it is preventable and curable.
I urge my constituents to get to know the symptoms of bowel cancer and to see how easy it is to take part in the NHS Screening Programme by going to www.bowelcancer.tv”
