What is cancer?
Cancer starts in our cells. Cells are tiny building blocks that make up the organs and tissues of our body.
Detecting cancer earlier
Knowing how your body normally looks and feels can help you be aware of any changes that could be caused by cancer.
Respiratory symptoms
If you get out of breath doing things you used to be able to do, or you’ve had a cough for three weeks or more, it could be a sign of lung or heart disease, or even cancer.
Concerned about breast cancer?
Public Health England has set up a helpline on 0800 169 2692 for women to call for advice.
Urgent referral
If you notice any unusual symptoms or changes to your body, go and see your GP. Many symptoms are often caused by conditions other than cancer.
Living with and beyond cancer
People who have finished cancer treatment often report having difficulties financially, emotionally, practically and medically.
