It’s Stand Up To Cancer Day, so put down those ciggies and do something else, like play tennis, have a swim, mow the lawn or read a book. In fact, why not treat yourself and scoff a mahoosive sandwich, as it’s also Eat a Hoagie Day!
Seriously though, this is the perfect opportunity to find out more about an essential topic that affects us all. If you’re in the UK, searching for cancer on the NHS Choices website is a good start. If you’re not a limey, a quick search using “cancer” and your country on any search engine will present you with excellent information on signs, preventative measures and everything else you might need.
As the Department of Health says: Be Clear on Cancer
