Finding cancer early could save your life.
Listen to your body. Act on Cancer.
Cancer affects many of us, our relatives or friends, yet many people still find it difficult to talk about.
Talk, Check, Act on Cancer is helping people across Lancashire and South Cumbria feel more confident having conversations about cancer. It is encouraging them to take early action by recognising the signs and symptoms, taking up screening opportunities, and speaking to their doctor if something doesn’t feel right.
Check it, don’t chance it.
Losing weight without trying? Spotted a lump? Blood in your poo or pee? Or any unexplained pain that won’t go?
The ‘Check it, don’t chance it’ campaign raises awareness of the key signs and symptoms of cancer and encourages you to contact your doctor if something doesn’t feel right.
Cancer Screening & Prevention
Screening can help find some cancers before you notice any symptoms. Most people who attend screening are reassured everything is normal. If changes are found, they’re often easier to treat because they’ve been picked up early.
