If you get a FIT kit through the post, it's meant for you.
Even if you don't have symptoms, it can detect signs of cancer of bowel cancer before you do.
So, help yourself by remembering to complete it.
Put it by the loo - don't put it off.

How it Started
I qualified as a nurse in 1998. I knew early on that I wanted to work in cancer and started as a chemotherapy nurse in 2008. I became a CNS in 2014. I was passionate to be the point of contact and support for people diagnosed with melanoma.

Then.. 1985 started studying for a BN/RGN in Southampton
I loved the colorectal surgical ward E7 but particularly saw the potential for therapeutic nursing in my elective placement at Countess Mountbatten Hospice.
