THE Daily Echo recently publisahed some advice from the health authority. It included that of stocking up on incontinence medication. This may be reasonable advice in the short term but GMTV ran a story on the prevention of bowel cancer.

I feel its reasonable to suggest that if a individual has incontinence for any length of time medical advice should be sought.

If an individual is unfortunate to contact the disease it is treatable but early detection is needed.
