In Australia lung cancer is number 1 on the killer list,
BOWEL CANCER is number 2.
This year alone some 12,800 Australians will be diagnosed with BOWEL CANCER, and around 4,750 will die of it. That's a very frightening 1 Australian every two hours.
BOWEL CANCER can be prevented, or treated very successfully, if diagnosed early enough.
BOWEL CANCER begins as a polyp, which is a benign growth on the wall of the bowel, which if detected and removed can prevent bowel cancer.
