Bowel Cancer

If you’ve had blood in your poo or looser poo for 3 weeks, your doctor wants to know.

Chances are it’s nothing to worry about, but these symptoms could be signs of bowel cancer, so tell your doctor. Finding bowel cancer early makes it more treatable and could save your life.

Are you a Carer?

The person you care for can be a family member, friend or neighbour. Many carers take this role willingly out of a sense of love or committment. Others become carers because they feel that they have no choice. Caring for someone is often rewarding but can be demanding, isolating and stressfull. Carers may be worried about money or their own health. North Ayrshire Carers Centre is based at 174 High Street, Irvine. Telephone 01294 311333 or email northayrshire.carers@unity-enterprise.com. The centre offers carers impartial confidential help. The centre also offers a home visit service.
