World Cancer Day | Early Detection Saves Lives

Cancer screening saves lives.
It can find cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is often simpler and more effective.

If you’re invited for screening, whether it’s for breast, cervical, bowel, or prostate cancer.
Please take up the offer. It might feel easy to put off, but those few minutes could make a life-changing difference.

Screening isn’t about assuming something is wrong.
It’s about looking after yourself, staying informed, and giving yourself the best chance of early treatment if anything is found.

Today is a good day to:
Check which screenings you’re eligible for
Book or attend your appointment
Encourage a friend or family member to do the same

Early detection saves lives.
Your health matters. 💙

Visits to the NHS page on seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are up around 30% this month – so if the darker days are affecting your mood or energy, you’re not alone 💛

Small things can help:

☀️ making the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🏃‍♀️ physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🗂️ planning for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks and building in more rest

There are also treatments like light therapy, talking therapies and medication if you’re finding things really tough.

Feel free to forward this to anyone who might find winter a bit tougher.
