Chooseday 10th November - Choose to test!
Good Morning,
Happy Chooseday! This week, we’re choosing to stop putting it off and choose to test. 🩺💙
We’re right in the middle of a big stretch for cancer awareness.
October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and next week (16–22 November) is Cervical Cancer Awareness Week. These cancers have something important in common: each one can be screened for, and the earlier it’s found, the better the chance of successful treatment.
Cancer screening saves lives.
Screening is one of the most effective ways to detect early signs of cancer.
National screening programs are available in Australia to detect breast cancer, bowel cancer, lung cancer and cervical cancer. 💙
If Laurie hadn’t taken the free bowel screening test, he wouldn’t be alive today and would have missed out on so many experiences with his family and friends, read more here.
So if you have received an invitation to screen for cancer, take your test today.
Learn more here.
If you have noticed any changes in your health and body, see your doctor immediately.
For more information, call or email Cancer Connect for support on 13 11 20.
Your Chooseday challenge ⏰
This week, take five minutes to check in on your own screening. Find that envelope, book that appointment, or put a reminder in your calendar for when you’re next due.
Then pass it on. Ask a parent, partner or friend whether they’re up to date. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle nudge from someone who cares.
Choose to support Cancer Council 💙
