This is Hanc. He’s looking out for every man (especially those aged 40+) across Cheshire and Merseyside, to make sure you are all checking yourselves for head and neck cancer symptoms.

Hanc’s simple check can be done in 60 seconds and 3 easy steps:

Touch - Feel around for any lumps on your neck, lips, or in your mouth.
Open Wide - Look in your mouth and on your tongue for any ulcers or red / red and white patches.
