Feeling unusually tired, losing weight without trying, bloating, pain or appetite changes can all be signs of cancer.
If something doesn’t feel right for you, don’t ignore it.

Cancer doesn’t care if you’re “just a bit run down.”
Early checks make all the difference.
✨ Speak to your GP.

🤧🦠 Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

👉 Check what to expect and when to seek help:
https://patient.info/features/infections/difference-between-cold-and-flu
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than “just a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.
