Cancer is a condition where cells in the body grow in an uncontrolled way. Cancer can affect any part of your body, including your organs, blood, bone marrow and immune system.
 

You should always make an appointment with your GP practice if you notice a change that isn't normal for you.

Many of these signs and symptoms are more often caused by something less serious than cancer - but if it is cancer, spotting it early can make a real difference. The earlier it's picked up there is a better chance of successful treatment. 
 

Remember:
 

• You won't be wasting your doctor's time

• Try not to be embarrassed

• What you tell your GP is confidential

• Doctors are used to discussing intimate problems and will try to put you at ease
   

Early diagnosis saves lives.
