Early detection can help save lives.

September 💓

The first day of the month is a good time to make time to check your chest for any changes ⏰

If you notice anything different, contact your GP practice to get it checked- even if you’ve recently had a clear mammogram.

You know your body best, knowing what is normal for you and what isn’t can help to detect things in the earlier stages.

Have you noticed a change that is unusual for you?
It might be unexplained pain, a new lump, blood in your poo or p*e, or losing weight without trying.
Most symptoms are not caused by cancer, but it is important to get them checked. Listen to your body and contact your GP.

Don’t chance it. Check it.

Breast screening aims to find breast cancer at an early stage, often before there are any symptoms. Early detection may often mean simpler and more successful treatment.

A visit to a breast screening unit usually takes less than 30 minutes and the mammogram only takes a few minutes.
