🎗️ June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month

From your Colorectal Specialists at Macarthur Surgical Group 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer, but it’s also one of the most treatable when caught early.

It often develops with no symptoms, which is why screening saves lives.

🩺 The best screening method?
For those 50 and over — or earlier if you have a family history — we recommend the free at-home bowel screening test (iFOBT) or a colonoscopy if you're at increased risk.

If you're experiencing symptoms like:
🔹 Changes in bowel habits
🔹 Blood in your stool
🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 Ongoing abdominal pain..it's time to get checked.

✅ Our expert Clinical team is here to help — with excellent doctors, caring staff, and a reputation for quality care.

📅 Book an appointment with your GP this June and put your health first.
Early detection could save your life.
