She was invited to be screened for bowel cancer in 2002 and 2003. The Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) test in 2003 was abnormal so she repeated the test. This was also found to be abnormal. She had a colonoscopy, during which three large polyps were removed. These were found to be benign (not cancerous). She had a repeat colonoscopy in 2004 just to check that all was well. She will have another colonoscopy in 2009.
