🌍 World Cancer Day – 4 February 🌍
World Cancer Day is a global campaign to raise awareness of cancer, encourage prevention, early detection, and remind everyone that each cancer journey is unique.
🧡 Know your body. Notice changes.
Finding cancer early can make a real difference. That’s why it’s important to be aware of what’s normal for you and to take notice of any changes, such as:
-New lumps
-Unexplained weight loss
-Changes in bowel habits
-Persistent pain, cough, or fatigue
-Changes to skin, moles, or bleeding
🔍 Don’t ignore symptoms or put off checks
Most changes won’t be cancer, but if something doesn’t feel right, it’s always better to get it checked.
