So I finished all my breast cancer treatment sorted the headaches and just had results from the postal Boswell cancer screening they want to see me for more test - to say I can’t believe it is an understatement just when you think everything is good, the bloody happens, I am so worried, surely it can’t be cancer again already it’s only been a year, has anyone else had this

  • Hi there, I’m not familiar with the Boswell test but just wanted to say best of luck with it.  Fingers crossed you will get the all clear but there is no denying that it is a crap time waiting for results! Xx

    I understand a Boswell screening test is a home kit for suspected bowel cancer. I sincerely hope you have not got this….I really do wish you a total negative result. Very best wishes xx

  • Wishing you all the best. As with all recalls, there are many possible reasons, not just cancer. My husband got a recall from his most recent poo stick test. He had a colonoscopy, which involved a couple of days of low residue diet (no fibre, fruit, veg, terribly boring), a day of fasting / taking laxatives, and then the procedure itself under sedation. His problem turned out to be haemorrhoids.  

  • Hi, someone who was in treatment with me also had this about 6 months post chemo and surgery. She was terrified. She had the colonoscopy procedure and it was diverticulitis. They showed her on the screen. Big hugs to you xxx
