Bowel cancer is cancer that's found anywhere in the large bowel, which includes the colon and rectum.
The large bowel is part of your digestive system. It helps absorb water from your food and removes food waste from your body.
How serious bowel cancer is depends on how big the cancer is, if the cancer has spread, and your general health.
Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK.
Bowel cancer screening can pick up bowel cancer early, which may mean it's easier to treat.

The three of us had our Private Flu Jabs with Lords Pharmacy. The pharmacist we saw was brilliant. Firstly he brought us in all together rather than one at a time which made it a more personable service. He was so welcoming and very funny too! Will definitely be going back for any further jabs.

Great service today from Mrs Henderson and the pharmacy team! I was early for my appointment. The team dealt with me promptly and professionally.

Thank you for a quick turn around on some Libra Sensors for my father today, his original repeat prescription did not arrive, but after filling the correct forms we picked up the same day. Thank you so much....
