Despite being the third most diagnosed cancer, bowel cancer patients don’t receive the same level of support as other common cancers.

Funds raised this Dry July will help Bowel Cancer Australia expand the charity’s specialist Bowel Care Nurse pilot program, enabling more patients to receive dedicated support from an in-person Bowel Care Nurse.

A Bowel Care Nurse is a registered nurse who has specialist knowledge and experience caring for patients with bowel cancer. Serving as a point of contact for patients and their families as they navigate the health system – providing advice, education, support and direct patient care to the regional communities.

With your help, Bowel Cancer Australia can ensure more patients and their families have advice, education, support and direct patient care from a local Bowel Care Nurse.
