All babies cry, and it can feel really tough at times – but remember: babies cry, you can cope. Crying often increases around 2 weeks and peaks at 6–8 weeks. This phase will pass, and you are not alone.

'Know your ovaries' is a campaign that aims to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

More than 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year, but survival rates remain stubbornly low, in part because many cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Only around one third of women diagnosed have their cancer caught at stage one or two, with over 50 per cent of cancers diagnosed at advanced stages. A woman has a 95 per cent chance of survival when diagnosed early, more than double the average ovarian cancer survival rate.

Ovarian cancer van
As part of the campaign, a mobile van will travel around Lancashire and South Cumbria throughout September and October, visiting town centres, supermarkets and community events. Trained volunteers will be on hand to offer talks, interactive symptom checkers, Q&A sessions and signposting to support groups and healthcare providers.

The van will be in Burnley on 2nd and 3rd October between 10am and 4pm on St James Street.

Further dates in other locations are available at https://www.lancashireandsouthcumbria.icb.nhs.uk/ovarian-cancer-van

Patient information

15/09/2025

From September, NHS England plans to start sending results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme directly to patients via their NHS app.

Patients who receive a negative test result will be notified by an NHS app notification. If the NHS app notification has not been read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent to the registered address.

Any abnormal results will continue to be delivered by letter.

If you don't already have it, download the app at https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/

To receive notifications in the NHS App, you will need to turn them on in the App and in your phone settings.
