National Bowel Screening Programme coming to Waikato

Waikato DHB

Kia ora whānau,

Did you know that bowel cancer is the second highest cause of cancer death in New Zealand? Around 3000 of us will be diagnosed and 1200 will die of it each year.

But catching it early can save lives and all it takes to find it is a quick and easy test you can do at home.

Kia ora whānau,

Did you know that bowel cancer is the second highest cause of cancer death in New Zealand? Around 3000 of us will be diagnosed and 1200 will die of it each year.

But catching it early can save lives and all it takes to find it is a quick and easy test you can do at home.

The National Bowel Screening Programme is being rolled out across the Waikato region with the aim of reducing the devastating impact bowel cancer has on our communities.

If you're aged between 60 and 74, you will receive a test kit in the mail every two years around the time of your birthday. If that's on an even day (2nd, 4th, 6th) of the month you will receive a kit this year while those on an odd day (e.g 1st, 3rd, 5th) will get theirs in the programme's second year.

The test comes with clear instructions and will help detect early warning signs of bowel cancer. It is free for people aged 60-74 who are eligible for publicly funded healthcare.

If you're not in the screening age range and you have a family history of bowel cancer, you could be entitled to a colonoscopy. Talk to your GP for more information.

If you have symptoms of bowel cancer, don’t wait for screening, talk to your doctor now. Common symptoms of bowel cancer may include:
• a change in your normal bowel habit that continues for several weeks
• blood in your bowel motion.

Although these symptoms are usually caused by other conditions, it’s important to get them checked.

We're encouraging those in the eligible age group to complete the test and send it back, and for whānau to talk to their loved ones about the importance of getting tested.

Do it for you, do it for your whānau.

For more information, visit the Time to Screen website, call 0800 924 432 or talk to your doctor.

When painting is a crime...

Adam from Adam's Painting

I must admit, painting over natural rimu timber feels criminal. I had a desire to polyurethane the well-prepared weatherboard cladding of this old home, to show off the beautiful native timber grain.

I had a desire to polyurethane the well-prepared weatherboard cladding of this old home, to show off the beautiful native timber grain. But my client wanted it to match the rest of the paintwork on her house, and in the end, it's what the customer wants that's important! So I left this job with a before and after picture, ...and very a vhappy client!

Although not everyone's taste, it's a nice change from the off whites, mushrooms and grey colours that seem to be popular at the moment. I painted this pumpkin orange colour on the timber walls of a new bathroom. Its a product called "Resene kitchen and bathroom space cote", a paint colour called "Twisted Sister" My clients choose something a bit pizzazzy! They weren't disappointed!
