New Episode: Don’t Ignore the Signs — Bowel Cancer Awareness with Gerald Quigley
In this episode of Stars and Stories, MJ speaks with Gerald Quigley, pharmacist and Master Herbalist, about the importance of taking bowel cancer seriously—especially during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
If you're aged 45 to 74, the Australian Government sends you a free test every two years. It's easy to use, quick to return—and could save your life.
Gerald shares a personal story about a friend who nearly missed the signs of bowel cancer but survived thanks to a timely check. It’s a powerful reminder that early detection really does matter.
✔️ Don’t put it off.
✔️ Do the test for your peace of mind, and for your family.
