Testicular Cancer awareness month.

Testicular cancer is a young man’s disease:
Testicular cancer most often affects young and middle-aged men, ages15–35, making it one of the few cancers that commonly impacts men at the beginning of adulthood.
When detected early, testicular cancer is highly treatable and survivable, making awareness and education essential. By encouraging self-exams, education, and open conversations, we strengthen the foundation that leads to earlier detection and healthier lives, together.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month🩵

Colorectal cancer is a cancer that develops in the large intestine (colon) or re**um. It's also known as bowel cancer. Most colorectal cancers begin as a POLYP, a small growth in the lining of the colon or re**um, which can be removed by doctors.

The aim of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is to raise vital awareness of the disease and to encourage early screening.

If you or anyone you know has been affected by a cancer diagnosis, please get in touch with our Therapy Coordination Team to see if CancerCare can help: tct@cancercare.org

Endometriosis awareness month

Can you believe we’re nearly halfway through Endometriosis Action Month?

This month our fundraisers have taken on some amazing challenges, over 2000 emails have been sent to local representatives, we’ve met with over 100 parliamentarians to demand change, and there has been some incredible awareness across the media with over 400 news articles on endometriosis already this month alone. Your stories empower change - and we are so grateful to everyone who has been involved.

We’re reflecting back on just how busy the first half of the month has been. Read more on our blog - https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/endometriosis-action-month-week-1-round 💛

If you’re aged between 40 and 74, it is likely that you will be invited to attend an NHS Health Check. The NHS Health Check programme helps prevent heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and certain types of dementia. An early diagnosis of any one of these conditions can help improve your health.

If you think you are eligible but have not been invited, contact your GP surgery to find out if they offer NHS Health Checks or contact your local Public Health team to find out where you can get an NHS Health Check.
