Are you a kick ass woman living with or beyond bowel cancer, or do you have a female family member or friend who is?

In celebration of International Women’s Day (8 March), Bowel Cancer Australia raises awareness of bowel cancer in women and shares empowering stories from Aussie women who are kicking bowel cancer’s ass.

It is a common misconception that bowel cancer is an old man’s disease. Yet the reality is, bowel cancer affects women of all ages, and almost half of all people diagnosed with bowel cancer in Australia each year are women.

Find out how you can show your support for the growing number of people living with or beyond bowel cancer - and help us kick bowel cancer’s butt!

Read more about the campaign here and share your story here.

Get together with your mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, cousins and girlfriends and host a kick ass activity to raise much needed funds and awareness for Bowel Cancer Australia.
 
Book in for high tea or a ladies’ dinner party. Organise a group session of walking, yoga, soccer, pilates, swimming, skateboarding, running or Tai Chi.
 
Save the date and start planning early for Sunday 12th May. Mother's Day provides a lovely opportunity to celebrate all the wonderful Mums out there and also to remember the special Mums who are no longer with us.

Around 7,068 Aussie women are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year.

Possible bowel cancer signs can often be dismissed as symptoms associated with pregnancy or recent childbirth, endometriosis, menstruation, menopause (perimenopause) - or even simply being a busy tired mum with young children.

The good news is that almost 99% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully if found early.


No one knows your body better than you, so listen to it and if something isn't right, make an appointment to speak with your GP as soon as possible and seek a second (or third) opinion if necessary.
