Cornwall staff go dotty to help cancer patients

Bodmin Treatment Centre, in Cornwall, recently took part in Spot the Symptoms Week, organised by Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign. Members of staff, including General Manager Jeanette Mercer and Consultant Bowel Surgeon Mr E Lloyd-Davies, held a Dress Spotty Day at the hospital to raise money and awareness for the charity.

 

The Consultants at Bodmin Treatment Centre perform a large number of endoscopy procedures on NHS patients from all over Cornwall. These procedures are used for the diagnosis of bowel cancer.

 

Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign is a small charity founded by former Watchdog presenter Lynn Faulds Wood, who beat advanced bowel cancer.

 

Lynn knows what advanced cancer feels like, as she was lucky to survive it. Lynn has made it her mission to help prevent this common cancer, and works to encourage earlier diagnosis through symptoms advice and screening, and to improve standards of treatment. The charity aims to help improve the lives of patients and their carers, at every stage of their journey through bowel cancer.
