It's #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth.

The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be.

Having these symptoms doesn’t mean you have bowel cancer, but it’s important to find out what’s causing them.

👀#SkinCancer could happen to anyone, regardless of skin tone.

The key changes to look out for are:
⚡️A sore/ulcer that doesn't heal in 4 weeks
⛰️A lump
🔎A change to a mole, or a new mole/freckles
