DECEMBEARD – Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 1st - 31st December 2021

 Bowel cancer is a general term for cancer that begins in the large bowel. Depending on where the cancer starts, bowel cancer can sometimes be called colon or rectal cancer.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in the UK and most people diagnosed with it are over the age of 60. However, this disease is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early.

Bowel Cancer UK’s annual sponsored beard grow is back this December, as a means of raising awareness and money to support our vital research and lifesaving work to stop bowel cancer.

For more information surrounding the importance of bowel screening and the treatment of bowel cancer please visit the Bowel Cancer UK and NHS websites:
