Poll: Do you think the bowel cancer screening age should be lower?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Two Waikato friends in their forties, both with terminal cancer, are begging the Government to lower the age for bowel cancer screening.

Jackie Robertson, 48, reached out to Kirsten Morland, 45, in January, soon after hearing about Morland’s bowel cancer diagnosis.

Do you think the bowel cancer screening age should be lower (45 instead of 58)? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
