At Bladder & Bowel Community we’re dedicated to raising awareness for Bowel Cancer which is a common yet treatable form of cancer if diagnosed at an early stage.

We all know of the existence of bowel cancer, right?
But you are not at risk because you are young? Wrong. Did you know?

Did you know:
❗️ Bowel Cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK
❗️ 43,000 people diagnosed each year
❗️ 9 out of 10 cases of bowel cancer cases are in older people
❗️ BUT over 2,000 people under 50 are diagnosed each year
❗️ Furthermore, 9 out of 10 cases result in survival if diagnosed early

We revisit Cara's story where she shares how she was diagnosed at 32, after visiting her GP after noticing a change in her bowel habits 👉https://www.bladderandbowel.org/news/bowel-cancer-awareness-month

There are some amazing organisations out there if you need support, such as and that can offer us all a little hope of beating this awful disease ⭐

💙 We are saddened to share that Gemma Savory, who was an integral part of our team, sadly passed away on 16th October. Our thoughts go out to her husband, family and friends during this difficult time.

💙 Gemma was our Community Marketing Manager and treasured team member for over 9 years at Bladder & Bowel Community. She lived with stage 4 cancer (and oh my, did she live!) for a quarter of her life, offering knowledge, wit, strength, support and resilience in abundance. As our social media lead she wrote countless articles and collaborated across social media with others living with bowel cancer, stoma care and was at the forefront of raising awareness.

"Gem, thank you, thank you for being authentically you , you will continue to inspire us, continue to be part of this team and we will never ever forget you x"

💙 Gemma’s impact stretched far and wide. We would love to hear from people she may have helped - If you would like to tell us about the difference she made to your life, please add your story here 👉 https://www.bladderandbowel.org/news/submit-an-article/

💙 We want the last word to go to Gem. Her letter to cancer is even more poignant in retrospect and honours her vigour for life and absolute determination 👉 https://www.bladderandbowel.org/news/world-cancer-day-a-letter-to-my-cancer/

For many having a stoma is the first step to a new life free from their conditions. You can read lots of inspirational stories of those living with a stoma, advice on travel, fitness, skincare and what to expect from stoma surgery in the Bladder and Bowel Stoma Hub on our website https://www.bladderandbowel.org/stoma/
