Have you been affected by bowel cancer?

Bowel Cancer UK in Northern Ireland is looking for volunteers who have been affected by bowel cancer to give short talks in their local area about the disease in order to raise awareness of Northern Ireland’s second biggest cancer killer.  The talks, usually held in nearby workplaces, community groups or anywhere an existing group comes together, will raise awareness of the disease, signs and symptoms, risk factors and the screening programme, as well as highlighting the volunteers' own experience.  Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in Northern Ireland.  Over 1,100 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year and around 400 people die from the disease.  Yet, it is treatable and curable - especially if diagnosed early.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
