Have you had any of these...

... for more than 4 weeks?

  • Problems peeing 
  • Runny poo 
  • Unexplained weight loss 
  • An unusual pain, lump or swelling anywhere in your body 
  • Becoming more short of breath 
  • A persistent cough 
  • A new or changed spot on your skin

... once or more?

  • Blood in your poo 
  • Coughing up blood 
  • Blood in your pee

The earlier cancer is found, the greater the chance of successful treatment.
