Poll: Do you think the bowel cancer screening age should be lower?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Two Waikato friends in their forties, both with terminal cancer, are begging the Government to lower the age for bowel cancer screening.

Jackie Robertson, 48, reached out to Kirsten Morland, 45, in January, soon after hearing about Morland’s bowel cancer diagnosis.

Do you think the bowel cancer screening age should be lower (45 instead of 58)? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
