A shame She didn't get Her final wish, to spend one last Christmas with Her Family; but Fate has no Ears and no Heart. A brave and Classy Lady, who was a credit to Her Species.

Hi silvermalc.

That reminds me. For some that may not know:

Bowel cancer can be present for a long time before any symptoms appear. If it's detected before symptoms appear, it's easier to treat and there's a better chance of surviving the disease.

To detect cancer sooner, the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme was introduced in England in 2006. Men and women aged 60-69 registered with a GP will automatically be sent an invitation for screening through the post every 2 years.

Some on here might have seen a kit that is sent in an envelope?  Well I have seen the kit sent to my neighbour. I thought I might just mention that as for one reason or another they may not have been sent, or even lost in the post.

And it really does matter after all.  You can of course take the initiative and buy an Easy-to-Use Accurate and Hygienic Home FOB test.  That would be on-line or from a chemist. (it is just a simple test).
