Questions or concerns
If you have been invited for bowel cancer screening, and have any questions about the FOBt kit, you should call the freephone number shown on the information leaflet that came with the kit. If you are worried about a specific problem or symptom, or otherwise worried about the risks of bowel cancer, then you should talk to your GP.
