There’s been a lot of chat about lumps recently, but do you know the other signs of breast cancer?

Checking your breasts is as easy as TLC:

Touch your breasts: can you feel anything new or unusual?
Look for changes: does anything look different to you?
Check any new or unusual changes with a GP

Get used to checking regularly and be aware of anything that’s new or different for you.

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, a mental health condition or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

The Carers’ Handbook is an essential guide for unpaid Carers. It contains information and sources of support for carers, as well as key information for carers and those they care for when they are at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

If you would like a copy of this please speak to your Cancer Navigator or visit the Information POD on Level 2 near Oncology & Haematology Radiotherapy
