A poster for notice boards...

I have received nothing but awesome care from my bowel cancer care team at Torbay NHS Trust. They have been with me through every step of my cancer journey. They have  reviewed my website and have decided to:

• add the website address to the information packs they give all bowel cancer patients
• print the poster (below) and pin it to notice boards in all (bowel cancer related departments) 

Print and pin this
