25.01.2022 My name is Tina. I am married to my childhood sweetheart Johnny, who is a FIFO worker, and I’m the mother of two amazing children whom I am immensely proud of Chloe (24) & Zac (17). On Nov 1st, 2018, I awoke at 4am in excruciating abdominal pain that was so extreme it caused me to vomit. the pain did not subside after an hour, and I went to ED, where I had a CT scan. I was diagnosed with an inflamed appendix, given pain relief, and sent home.... For a month the abdominal pain continued to the point that I was taking Advil so regularly for the pain it was ridiculous. In late December 2018, I went to see my GP, who ordered another CT scan because of the pain. I had that scan on Xmas eve morning and then went to work. I was looking forward to Xmas and the holiday break. On New Year’s Eve 2018 I received a call to present at my GP’s office. I couldn’t because I was away on holiday and so I was told over the phone that I had either bowel or rectal cancer and should expect a call from a specialist / surgeon in the next 24 hours. This was the 2nd time I had been diagnosed with cancer in the last 6 years, although the cancer were completely unrelated. On New Year’s Day I had a teleconference and was advised that the tumour in the sigmoid junction was large and had burst my bowel wall. I needed a colonoscopy to further determine the situation and I was given information about treatment possibilities. On the 10th of Jan 2019 I had surgery to remove the tumour, 27 lymph nodes, and part of my bowel. In Feb 2019, 6 weeks after my surgery, I began chemo which I would receive weekly through IV for 30 rounds. Today I still have 3 monthly checks and scans, although I am NED !! This journey has taught me so many things - about the disease, myself and life - a lesson I needed to have. My biggest take away from this experience is that you really don't know how strong you are until you have to be and guess what? You got this! Picture: is of me during Chemo attending the ANZAC Day clash in Melbourne watching my team the Magpies - a rare moment that my nose wasn't bleeding, and I wasn't feeling too sick to enjoy the moment. ~ Tina. Tina shares her personal story to help raise much-needed awareness that you’re never too young to have bowel cancer and support other people living with or beyond bowel cancer. #BowelCancerAustralia #HelpBeatBowelCancer #Never2Young

24.01.2022 Zoe Welham developed an interest in bowel cancer while she was working on a complex scientific research project in graduate school. As the inaugural PhD recipient of The Penn Foundation Scholarship, Zoe’s research will provide valuable new knowledge regarding the biological rules that govern bowel polyp growth something which is still not fully understood. Comparing the microbiomes of polyps at different risk levels for developing bowel cancer, Zoe’s research aims to bette...r understand how the gut microbiome influences the growth of bowel polyps. Research that she hopes will ultimately lead to a reduction in bowel cancer. Zoe will work under the supervision of the Lawrence Penn Chair of Bowel Cancer Research, Professor Mark Molloy. The majority of funding comes from national charity Bowel Cancer Australia, which has committed $6.4 million to establish the Lawrence Penn Chair of Bowel Cancer Research and will be supported by additional funds of $4 million available to the University to advance research into bowel cancer.

20.01.2022 Like so many Australians, Bowel Cancer Australia director David Gardiner didn't experience any bowel cancer symptoms, so his diagnosis was a surprise.

14.01.2022 Today is World mCRC Day a day dedicated to raising awareness about metastatic colorectal (bowel) cancer (mCRC). mCRC develops when normal tissue goes through a series of changes (mutations). During the process: ... -> the tissue develops into a polyp (adenoma) -> the polyp grows and over time becomes a cancerous tumour (adenocarcinoma) -> the tumour breaks off and spreads (metastasises) Despite considerable advances in the treatment of metastatic bowel cancer over the past 15 years, prognosis remains poor. But including biomarker testing as a part of your therapy selection can significantly improve your outcomes. Bowel Cancer Australia Colorectal Cancer Alliance Colorectal Cancer Canada and Bowel Cancer UK are working together to raise awareness about the importance of knowing your biomarker status.

13.01.2022 On Christmas Day 2017, I got a phone call from my mum crying because she couldn’t make it to Christmas lunch because she couldn’t pick herself up off the floor. She couldn’t stop vomiting. I told her weeks prior to go see the doctor but she refused because, and I quote this word for word ‘they’ll probably just tell me I’m full of cancer.’ Mum lived over an hour away from me, so I called an ambulance for her. They rushed over and took her to the nearest hospital. Later that d...ay we learned that she had a complete blockage in her bowel and would require emergency surgery on Boxing Day. Mum lost 75% of her bowel that day, but the surgeons were able to stitch it back together which meant that she didn’t need a stoma. During her recovery we got the news that the tumour they removed was unfortunately cancerous. They were confident that they got it all but still wanted to do 12 months of chemo for precautions. After her 12-month cycle she went in for her testing and the results were exactly what we had anxiously hoped for. SHE WAS IN REMISSION. MUM WAS CANCER FREE! We were all so happy that our mum was still going to be here to watch her grandbabies grow! Unfortunately, that was short lived. She had a terrible turn 6 months later. Mum’s cancer was back and it was far more aggressive than the first time. Mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer. She was terminal. That day was the day we learned that she only had 24months to live if only we were that lucky. Mum only survived 9 months. She took her last breath on the 4th of June 2020. Mum was 54 years young the day she lost her battle. But she fought like an absolute champion. I couldn’t be prouder of her. I just wish she didn’t have to become a statistic. I want to get her story out because I don’t want anyone to have to watch or even go through what my mum did. Please don’t be ashamed, be aware of the symptoms and get tested. ~ Courtney As a member of Bowel Cancer Australia's (Loved Ones) Peer-to-Peer Support Network, Courtney shares her family’s personal story to help raise much-needed awareness, support other people living with or beyond bowel cancer, and their loved ones. #BowelCancerAustralia #HelpBeatBowelCancer

13.01.2022 In mid-December 2019, Marty was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic bowel cancer, at age 42. "It took about 6 weeks to get myself into a frame of mind to deal with it." "Now I’m okay, but it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with."... "I’m a different person now - physically and mentally." In recognition of World mCRC Day, Marty has joined #BowelCancerAustralia and our international partners to raise awareness about metastatic bowel cancer.

13.01.2022 Author and investigative journalist Lucie Morris-Marr, 45, was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer in November 2019. After ten months of aggressive treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy, the Melbourne-based mother-of-two believes many people could be saved from such a brutal ordeal. The fact there is this simple test available that can detect bowel cancer in its earliest stages, well before you even experience symptoms, means it’s absolutely essential the scr...eening age is lowered, Ms Morris-Marr said. I’m very lucky to have survived and recovered well but I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience the horrendous battle I endured, a precarious fight that many tragically don’t win, she added. The writer also advocates for people to be more aware of bowel cancer symptoms and for GPs not to dismiss the possibility of bowel cancer in younger patients.

13.01.2022 We were saddened to hear of actor Chadwick Boseman’s passing last Friday. The highly acclaimed entertainer, who played Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Black Panther, was diagnosed with Stage III bowel cancer in 2016 and passed away at the young age of 43. Although the rates for bowel cancer have been declining among adults over 50, the rates continue to rise in adults under 50.... Young-onset patients are also more likely to be diagnosed with bowel cancer in Stage 3 or 4, when the disease is harder to treat. It is a common misconception that bowel cancer is 'an old person's disease', but the reality is that you should never be told that you are too young to have bowel cancer. No one knows your body better than you, so listen to it and if something isn't right make an appointment to speak with your doctor as soon as possible. Being young does not make you immune to bowel cancer. Chadwick Boseman’s untimely death reminds us, more must be done to help save young lives. Here's a recent post shared by our friends at Fight Colorectal Cancer , we couldn't have said it better ourselves.

12.01.2022 This World Pharmacists Day we recognise the great work pharmacists do to ensure the communities they serve have access to the best possible medications and care. We also celebrate the 10 year anniversary of BowelScreen Australia which launched as a collaboration with Pharmacy Guild of Australia to provide greater access to bowel cancer screening through community pharmacies every day of year. When detected in the earliest stages, almost 99 percent of bowel cancer cases can be... successfully treated.

11.01.2022 Delays in diagnosis and treatment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have serious implications for bowel cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. At the height of the pandemic there was a massive drop in colonoscopies by 57%. Cancer cases don't disappear as a result of reduced screening, they just remain undetected. And when cancer is diagnosed at a later stage, it's more difficult to treat and survival rates decline. ... Research shows a delay in adjuvant treatment by as few as four weeks may be sufficient to increase the risk of death by about 10%. So, if you've missed a medical appointment, received a positive test result, experienced new symptoms, or had your treatment adjusted, now is the time to get back in touch with your healthcare team. And remember, Bowel Cancer Australia is here for you too. #BowelCancerAustralia

10.01.2022 Friday 10th of August 2018 was an unforgettable day for me, the day I was told ‘You have bowel cancer’. That morning, as my husband drove me to the hospital (for a very minor procedure and a sigmoidoscopy), I felt a sense of uneasiness drenching me. I put it down to the fear of needles and anesthesia. I was changed into the hospital gown, and the kind and funny anesthesiologist assured me that this is his day job and that I was in very good hands. After, what only felt like ...few minutes, I had come back to awareness. The first thing I asked was if it was all done. The nurse gave me a kind smile and said I would get transferred to a different room. As I got wheeled out, I was greeted by my husband, and when I smiled, I thought that his smile looked sad. A group of doctors surrounded me. Their faces looked serious as I asked what was going on. My surgeon said, ‘Pera, I’m really sorry to say, it looks like you have bowel cancer’. How could anyone suspect it, as I was considered the wrong gender, wrong ethnic background, wrong age and I was living a relatively healthy life. I was not a big meat eater, only had a glass of wine occasionally, worked out five to six times a week, took yoga classes every week and did all the right things when it came to food. It had taken nearly 12 months for them to diagnose that in fact I had bowel cancer. The surgeon and the second GP were very apologetic. When I got diagnosed, it was at the last stretches of Stage 3, with three lymph nodes being affected. I consider myself very lucky to have come out of the other end. Bowel Cancer Australia has been an immense support, during my journey. So, I’m ever so grateful to your team and Bowel Care Nutritionist. ~ Pera Pera shares her personal story to help raise much-needed awareness that you're never too young to have bowel cancer, and to support other young people living with or beyond bowel cancer.

08.01.2022 I was extremely fortunate that I was able to spend the last two weeks of my nana’s life at her side. She was so resilient and brave as she endured surgeries and chemotherapy. She was an utterly amazing woman and is dearly missed, not only by me but all of my family, and those she lived with in her small country town community. ~ Amy. This year, to honour her nana, Amy not only cut her hair and donated it for wigs; she also shaved her head to raise funds for Bowel Cancer Aus...tralia. Collecting more than $5,000 in donations to help beat bowel cancer. Thanks Amy! Each week around 296 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer and another 103 die.

07.01.2022 I have a family history of bowel cancer and was told to have a colonoscopy when I turned 40. At 39 I developed a lump on my chest. Knowing that men also get breast cancer I decided to have it checked out and my other checks early. The lump on my breast turned out to be a silly ingrown hair. My colonoscopy showed bowel cancer.... Further tests also showed a kidney cancer. I had two separate primary cancers. About a month prior to my 40th birthday I had surgery that removed one kidney and my ascending colon. Both cancers where on the verge of breaking out but were contained. If I had waited as first planned, to well after my 40th birthday, I probably would not be alive today. I am now about to celebrate my 53rd birthday. ~ Steven Steven shares his person story to help launch our annual Decembeard campaign and raise much-needed awareness that you’re never too young to have bowel cancer.

02.01.2022 Meat Free Week starts in one week (21-27 September) and our Bowel Care Nutritionist has put together some tips to make tempeh tasty. Tempeh is a fermented soy product that’s a popular vegetarian meat replacement. However, vegetarian or not, it can be a nutritious addition to your diet. High in protein, prebiotics and a wide array of vitamins and minerals, tempeh is a versatile ingredient that comes with a variety of health benefits.... But tempeh can be a little bland on its own, and some people say it has a distinct flavour which you may or may not like. Teresa shares her top tips to make tempeh yummy, even for people who would not generally eat it - https://bit.ly/3hrHlsA Please Note: Tempeh is high in fibre and therefore not suitable for people living with a stoma.

Bowel Cancer Australia’s Bowel Care Nutritionist Associate Professor, Teresa Mitchell-Paterson, said we should aim to eat 5 serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruit a day, but now there are even more compelling reasons to bump up our intake of fruit and vegetables, as well as cut down our meat consumption. This week's campaign is all abo...ut awareness. For meat lovers, it is about making an informed decision if you are eating over the recommended intake. It is not a complete shift to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Join us for the challenge this 21-27 September and raise funds for a great cause. https://bit.ly/32LzIZX
