June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a vital time to talk about Australia’s second deadliest cancer.

The good news? Bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Yet many people delay testing, often because symptoms are mild, or they feel fine.

At Canning Medical, we’re encouraging all eligible patients to:
✅ Complete your free bowel cancer screening test (ages 50–74)
✅ Book a GP appointment if you have symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or abdominal discomfort
✅ Talk to your doctor if you have a family history of bowel cancer

Bowel cancer doesn’t always show symptoms early. Screening saves lives.

🩺 Need to book a screening or have concerns? Our GPs are here to help.
