It's becoming increasingly concerning that a large proportion of young people are using sun beds regularly. Read more 👉 buff.ly/44uLiHi #melanomaawareness #knowyourskin #sunbeds
I asked my GP surgery if they could display posters about melanoma in their waiting room - and asked if the posters could include photographs. They did and here they are. Really pleased #melanoma #skincancer #melanomaAwarenessMonth
A new survey has raised concerns about the lack of knowledge of the link between sunbed use and cancer. The survey by Melanoma Focus found that 25% of people thought that using sunbeds does not increase the risk of getting skin cancer.
A really fantastic post by @TheCancerSutra about the experience of being diagnosed. Some excellent advice here based on Mike’s experience. I can relate to lots of this 🙌

Dearly Diagnosed: Hey. Cancer, huh? That sucks. There are a lot of slogans, platitudes, and phrases you’ll hear. Some of them will resonate with you more than others. After 6 years of dealing with the disease, the one I will reiterate is that cancer just sucks. And it’s…

Always check. Always question. Always be whip smart. That was something I had to do yesterday during treatment. It reminded me of the time a nurse administered ear drops to a patient’s backside, having read a doctor’s abbreviated instruction note on the prescription: “place in R…

Today, the Government have yet again gone on the attack by singling out Disabled people as a burden on the benefits system. Utterly untrue, but we continue to be the whipping community for ALL government economic failure. Enough. This is just cruelty. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
My sister in law has PIP because she is living with terminal cancer. How exactly will these vouchers improve her health when the signs that her breast cancer had spread over her body were missed by delays in NHS?

People in the UK are experiencing huge gaps and differences in their cancer care, simply because of who they are or where they live. This has to change. If you’re worried about any signs or symptoms, please get in touch with your GP as soon as possible. theguardian.com/inequality/202…
Enough is enough. Disabled people are not the problem. Last week the Prime Minister made a speech about so-called 'sicknote culture'. He also proposed major changes to disability benefits. Today we're launching a petition in response to this full-on assault of disabled people.
