Glad to hear Jordan

Well done to everyone giving cancer a good fucking. Here’s another good news story: my mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer ten years ago this month after she did the ‘poo test’ the NHS sent her in the post. They caught it so early she only needed surgery, and has been cancer free ever since. Don’t be squeamish people, scoop your poop into that sample tube when they ask you to, get it done!

Holy cow that’s a great service. I’ve never heard of a mail in poo test in America, unsolicited. Or it would probably be some pervert soliciting poo samples and not my profit-driven insurance company.

Not unsolicited, but you can do the mail test through Ex@ct Sciences.

You get one every couple of years after a certain age, good old universal healthcare.

i had no idea about this. I'm quite stunned that neither of my parents has taken the opportunity to recount this experience to me!

I just did the poo test a few weeks ago. It's pretty great when you can shit in a box and then MAIL THAT BOX to someone, and it's all legit. I pretended mine was going to Mar-A-Lago.

Gd news abt yr mum Madchen. Yes, compulsory poo tests over the age of fifty here in Scotland. I always say a half-remembered limerick when I post mine off ...There was an old man from Newcastle/Who used to send shit in a parcel ...

All clear so far.

Compulsory?

That may be the wrong word. I think they do chase you up if you haven't sent one in though.

That’s vg. I did my first of these a few months ago without being chased so I don’t know whether it’s the same here (bet it’s not as good).

Glad I didn’t get an enforcement visit from the poo squad.

Or the Bottom Inspectors

was recently made aware cancer finds your tonsils hospitable. just in case you thought parts of your body were safe.

anyway, big yep, that prognosis hit one of my family members.

Best to your family in dealing with that.
