Bowel cancer is a general term for cancer that begins in the large bowel. Depending on where the cancer starts, bowel cancer is sometimes called colon or rectal cancer. Cancer can sometimes start in the small bowel (small intestine), but small bowel cancer is much rarer than large bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in the UK, with around 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year.

The three main symptoms of bowel cancer are blood in the stools (faeces), changes in bowel habit – such as more frequent, looser stools – and abdominal pain.

However, these symptoms are very common and most people with them do not have bowel cancer. If you are ever unsure of any abnormal symptom’s seek medical advice. Follow the link below it will answer any questions you may have.

It is never too early to bring children along to the dentist. In fact we encourage you all to bring little ones along to meet us. That way it is a pleasant experience and builds trust for years to come.

Shrove Tuesday 5th March
Pancake Day has been celebrated by Britons for centuries.  Known also as Shrove Tuesday, its exact date – rather confusingly – changes every year, as it is determined by when Easter falls.
The date of Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, a moveable feast which falls between March 22 and April 25. This year Easter Sunday falls on April 21.
The period in between Shrove Tuesday and Easter Sunday is known as Lent and officially begins on Ash Wednesday, ending on Holy Saturday.
So why do we celebrate shrove Tuesday with eating pancakes? Not that my son minds celebrating every Tuesday with pancakes for his dinner!
Traditionally, pancakes were eaten on this day to use up rich, indulgent foods like eggs and milk before the fasting season of Lent began.
But although lent is in Christian tradition, it is believed that Pancake Day might originate in a pagan holiday, when eating warm, round pancakes – symbolising the sun – was a way of celebrating the arrival of spring. So here are a few different ideas that I have looked at and tried from a cook book. Enjoy!
