Your next shower might save your life. 💙
The NHS and Morrisons have teamed up to put cancer awareness messaging on their shower gels and bath products – because knowing your body and what’s normal for you could save your life.
Next time you lather up, take a moment to be body aware. If you spot anything unusual, contact your GP. In most cases it won’t be anything serious, but finding cancer early makes it easier to treat and can save lives.
