ColoVantage Bowel Cancer Screening Test (inc. Testing Service) $42.95 Delivered @ Bowel Cancer Australia
Under 45/50 (or not Medicare eligible) and concerned about bowel cancer & want some peace of mind? A meagre $42.95 delivered (was $45) for an Australian designed & manufactured test that includes testing and results.
Young onset bowel cancer(bowelcanceraustralia.org) accounts for more than 10% of cases, but early detection has a >90% treatment success rate!
Unfortunately, the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program(health.gov.au) is only free for 50-74 year olds (and "eligible participants" 45+). It's the same test as this deal, and having previously had to supply a sample (not pleasant), was surprised and enthused to learn the tests have significantly evolved.
The collection process is simple & mess free(colovantage.com.au), and there's no touching or scooping of poo, it's a small sample of the toilet water into which you have crapped. Bag 'er up and off it goes in the prepaid envelope supplied with the kit and your result is ready within 24hrs of the lab receiving it.
Seems great value for something designed & manufactured in Australia, and you're supporting a nonprofit doing great work.
Alternatively you can grab it instore at Chemist Warehouse for $42.99(chemistwarehouse.com.au), definitely not a "shitty deal".
NB: While this is a convenient & easy screening method, if you have any concerns or display any symptoms(cancer.org.au), please see your GP as a matter of priority!
