Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK and the second biggest cancer killer—but it’s treatable and curable, especially if caught early. Many people with bowel cancer have no symptoms at first, which is why screening and awareness are so important.

✅ Who is at risk?
🔹 Most cases occur in people over 50, but it can affect anyone.
🔹 Family history and lifestyle factors can increase risk.

✅ What can you do?
🔹 Take part in NHS bowel cancer screening if invited.
🔹 Know what’s normal for you—if something changes, see your GP.
🔹 Live a healthy lifestyle to reduce your risk.

💙 "Every day in my life is different." – David's Parkinson’s Story 💙

David, 59, from Tameside, first noticed symptoms in 2012. It took three years before he was referred to a specialist and diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Managing the condition has been challenging, but the support from Parkinson’s UK, his local nursing team, and a Parkinson’s & dementia group has made all the difference.

🧠 Parkinson’s is different for everyone. From movement difficulties to mental well-being, finding the right support is crucial. If you or a loved one are affected, you are not alone.
