I'm in the screening age range, and I want my kit now as I'm worried about symptoms.
The Bowel Cancer Screening Programme is unable to screen you early; you have to wait for your invitation. But if you have symptoms, or are worried about your bowel health in any way and do not want to wait, then speak to your GP. This is the quickest way of getting any health problems checked out.
