Listen to: Farmers Guardian Over The Farm Gate Podcast with Livestock Farmer Wayne Smith
We often talk about mental health, but physical health is just as important. Farming is one of the most demanding jobs, yet farmers rarely take time to notice any changes in their bodies or habits.
This week on Over The Farm Gate, we’re talking about bowel cancer. Each year over 42,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer, and around 268,000 people in the UK have had a diagnosis at some point in their life. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early.
Hannah Binns, Farmers Guardians’, Senior Livestock Specialist speaks to livestock farmer Wayne Smith, a bowel cancer survivor. Wayne opens up about his battle with cancer, and his road to recovery in the hope to help and encourage the rural community to prioritise their health.
