Thanks goodness you trusted your instincts as you might have waited a year or two for your first screening.I hadn't realised the screening programme runs on a three yearly cycle according to your GP practice.This time last year ,not long before I turned 52, I remarked to one of my oldest friends, who is 6 weeks younger than me , that I thought we should have been offered screening by now (unlike the bowel screening test which arrives along with your 50th birthday cards!)We both received appointments the following week.Again-the rest is history....But if I had been screened at 50, it wouldn't have shown up and I would probably still be waiting for the next round.I feel very lucky-and tell myself we wouldn't have been here if we lived in Victorian times! I'm seriously impressed by the walk yesterday.I confess I didn't make it out for mine.I was worried I would be blown away!I help my father at weekends and reckon by the time I have cleaned his house and vacuumed the stairs and washed the floors, I've done a full work out! However, I have silk thermals on order so I can embrace the cold and get outdoors this winter, as I suspect it's the only way we will meet anyone.... I hope you have a good week and feel you are making progress-and don't worry if you don't-it's quite normal. 🤗
