Cancer won’t wait and neither should you. If your worried ask to speak to your GP.
Your surgery is open and if your worried about new or persistent symptoms you should be seen. If your worried, please reach out for support.

[Cancer Research Wales | Ymchwil Canser Cymru @cancer_wales]

GPs are not too busy to see those who need an appointment.

It’s important to remember that if you notice anything unusual or a symptom of cancer that won’t go away, you should get it checked.
