World Cancer Day is a global event which aims to raise awareness and provide invaluable information about cancer so all of us take action against the disease.
In many cases, catching cancer at an early stage can be life-saving and a big part of that comes from knowing our own bodies and our own health.
If something doesn’t feel right, go to your GP, speak with another health professional or mention it to your Occupational Health practitioner.
