It's normal that in our busy lives, we may find excuses for not feeling 100%. When Nav bravely shared her bowel cancer story, she hoped people would listen to what their bodies tell them and not ignore the symptoms.

‘We all poo… an elite few of us, poo at the front’ 💩

Great interview Matt Forde & Giovanni Cinque 💜

Before I had a stoma I found them terrifying, even disgusting.

The reality is totally different. It's easy to manage and at times I forget I've got it.

I wish I'd heard from someone before my op, to reassure me, so I was delighted to go on BBC News last night to talk about it.

Last night we featured alongside Matt Forde on #BBCNews , to discuss the positive impact that public figures openly discussing their stomas has on the community 💜

Louise Thompson, Adele Roberts, Tracey Emin, Mollie Pearce, Louie Green - we thank you!
