Young-onset bowel cancer: Amplifying the patient voice Australians living with, or at risk of, young-onset bowel cancer often encounter obstacles in accessing timely referral and diagnosis. “I paid for a colonoscopy because my doctor said I would wait 8 months in the public system,” shared Ellen, who was diagnosed with young-onset bowel cancer age 38. Join Ellen, Sophie, Adam, Darren, Rob and Jessica as they share their personal experiences, challenges encountered, and barriers that need addressing to successfully navigate the healthcare system as young-onset bowel cancer patients. Session 1 of the Breaking Down the Barriers webinar series: Amplifying the patient voice will be held on Thursday, 24 February at 11:30PM AEST and registration is free. |
