This is Hanc. He’s looking out for every man (especially those aged 40+) across Cheshire and Merseyside, to make sure you are all checking yourselves for head and neck cancer symptoms.
Hanc’s simple check can be done in 60 seconds and 3 easy steps:
Touch - Feel around for any lumps on your neck, lips, or in your mouth.
Open Wide - Look in your mouth and on your tongue for any ulcers or red / red and white patches.
Speak - Listen out for any hoarseness in your voice.
Head and neck cancer kills 4000 people each year in the UK. By spotting signs early and getting checked out at your GP Practice, you can boost your chances of tackling it quickly.
Checking yourself just once a month can help give you and your loved ones peace of mind.
