Diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer at the age of 31.

Share my story to raise awareness about early onset bowel cancer 🙏

[GrindingChemo @GrindingChemo]

Cancer took my health but ARC Raiders has given me my escape.

I am fighting stage 4 bowel cancer with spread to my liver, lungs, lymph nodes and brain. On the days I can play, ARC Raiders helps me cope.

If anyone has spare blueprints or loot they do not need, I would be grateful.

Sometimes I feel like my life lately could be a really boring @Netflix special.

Going through cancer treatment is a challenging and emotional journey. It involves a combination of physical, emotional, and mental challenges that can take a toll on both the patient and their loved ones. We experience a range of emotions, including uncertainty for the future.

Bowel cancer is a serious health issue that is affecting young Australians. It is often referred to as the silent killer because it can go undetected until it reaches advanced stages.

"When you feel like you can't go on, remember how far you have already come."

[GrindingChemo @GrindingChemo]

Being diagnosed with bowel cancer doesn't mean that life cannot be enjoyed to the fullest. It is important to focus on the things that bring joy and fulfillment, and to make the most out of every moment.

It's our Annual Giving Day - Red Apple Day!

Help us to fill X with red apples today to raise much needed awareness and funds for bowel cancer.

Bowel Cancer Australia's apple logo is symbolic of the charity's bowel cancer message: that 99% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully if found early.

The outline of Bowel Cancer Australia's apple logo appears as an abstract of a human bowel. The small hole in the apple is caused by a worm. If detected early and removed, the worm is unable to continue affecting the apple or the health of the tree.

It's the same with people. If bowel cancer is detected early, it can be successfully treated in 99% of cases, which means patients and their families can continue to enjoy a healthy life.

We need your help to raise $200,000 this Red Apple Day.

Donate now at https://t.co/G4guBBfDIT and have your gift MATCHED, so it has DOUBLE the impact.

Help save lives by updating your profile picture and sharing the Red Apple Day message with your friends and family.

TWO DAYS TO GO: Wednesday June 19 is our Annual Giving Day, with all donations MATCHED so they have DOUBLE the impact.

11% of all new bowel cancer cases occur in people under the age of 50. 1,716 young people hear those four words ‘you have bowel cancer’ each year and sadly 315 young lives are cut short due to the disease annually.

$100 = $200 can help fund patient-centred research to improve our understanding of early-onset bowel cancer.

Please save the date and help us reach our $200,000 target to fund early-onset bowel cancer research and build a path toward a cure.

TWO DAYS TO GO: Please join passionate Bowel Cancer Australia supporters Amy and Sara, in helping us to raise $200,000 on 19 June for early-onset bowel cancer research that has the potential to improve survival and/or help build a path toward a cure.

"As two females in their 20s, early-onset bowel cancer research, awareness and funding couldn’t be more relevant and crucial to our worlds. We created Time is Precious after the devastating passing of Sara’s stepfather at the ripe age of 49. Since that loss and from hearing other stories; we have a newfound passion to dedicate time and energy towards raising funds and awareness in an attempt to prevent this from happening again. Time is so precious and much more needs to be done to enable early detection and therefore improve the chances of survival and treatment for those future young bowel cancer patients. Our contribution to early-onset bowel cancer research is extremely rewarding and we will continue to do all that we can."

Participation rates in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program have fallen for a second year, which is of concern, given the program's life-saving potential as 99 per cent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated when detected early.

Around 6 million Australians aged 50-74 were sent out free bowel cancer screening kits in the mail in 2022, yet only 40 per cent chose to take the test, new data from the program's 2024 Monitoring Report shows.

This figure is a further drop of almost one per cent on participation rates in 2021, which were 40.9 per cent.

Each year over 15,300 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer, with 1-in-9 new bowel cancer cases occurring in people under age 50.

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer, claiming over 5,300 lives each year.

Warmest thanks to @gabyrogers @emcpherson_9 @9NewsAUS for continuing to help us raise awareness of bowel cancer and the importance of early detection.
