Taking your bra off at the end of the day feels great.

And so does getting your breast screening sorted. It can detect cancer before you can feel it. Or more likely, put your mind at rest.

So when you're invited, save the date. It could save your life. https://t.co/oSUtrf3zeC

Remember F.A.S.T for signs of a stroke.

Face – has their face fallen on one side?
Can they smile? Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is it slurred?
Time – it’s time to call 999.

When stroke strikes remember to Act F.A.S.T. https://t.co/FEkXW1YQN7

If something in your body doesn’t feel right, the thought it could be cancer can play on your mind. But most people who go for tests find out it’s not cancer.

Finding out sooner is always better. Contact your GP practice.
