Bowel Cancer Screening Home Test Kit & Testing Service $45 Delivered @ ColoVantage
Writing this on behalf of my Pops and Dad. I usually just browse here, but this felt important to share.
If you're 40 or older, please consider getting screened early—and regularly.
My Pops passed away from bowel cancer when I was just six. It was rough.
Last year, my Dad had to go through a biopsy and colonoscopy after high PSA levels and because of our family history. None of my parents—Pops, Dad, or even Mum—liked the idea of dealing with their own poo, which I get.
But after asking around at a few pharmacies, this test was recommended. I bought one for Dad. Took a month of convincing, but he finally did it—and I feel a lot better knowing he’s being proactive. He admitted it wasn’t that bad. The brush is long enough, and you only need a water sample from the bowl after you’ve gone. No mess, no scooping.
It’s not a bad deal at all—about $45 for peace of mind. Just follow the instructions: do your business, dip the brush in the toilet water, swipe it on the card, seal it up, and mail it in. The only delay we had was AusPost being slow. But once the lab gets it, results came through in under 48 hours—super fast if you put down your email.
Admittedly, I wasn't around when Dad got the e-mail and he needed help (not the most techy person). He rang their number and some nice sounding lady helped him out and he got his results in minutes.
Honestly, I don’t get why more people aren’t testing. $45 is a small price to pay for your health—and it's made and tested here in Australia.
There might be other tests out there, sure—but how many are Australian-made, done in an Aussie lab, with a local customer service to boot?
Grab a test - any test - and look after yourself and your mates. Talk to your GP for options.
I don’t want your kids to go through what I did: growing up without my Pops, and now worrying I might lose my Dad too.
Early screening could make all the difference. Just do it—for yourself, and for the people who love you. Tomorrow is a promise.
