BOWEL CANCER
For Women’s Health Week, I am joined by health reporter Jane Worthington and special guests Liesl Tesch MP Paralympian and Member for Gosford and Margaret Beardslee OAM World Age Duathlon Champion in a special podcast to discuss the importance of screening checks for the 2 most common cancers affecting women.

Others lament the extra wrinkles in the mirror and many will laugh off the strange little package they received in the mail, asking them to send a small sample of their stool off for medical testing, as part of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
Gloria Gaynor, pink sequins and glitterballs will be out in force next month, when 300 cancer survivors and supporters don their boogie shoes at the Coast’s biggest cancer event of the year to raise funds for all women cancer. Here are the red flags and screening checks for the 3 most common cancers in women - that should not be ignored.
