Kim Lee developed bowel cancer and died from it, but may have had the growth removed in time if it had been diagnosed earlier. Australians aged 50, 55, 60 and 65 are being sent test kits in the mail that require them to return two stool samples for analysis. If blood is present, further tests are advised. Only a third of the tests are actually used by the recipients. If diagnosed early, the survival rate for this type of cancer is 90%, and there are 15,000 cases each year
