Checking your testicles only takes a couple of minutes – and it could make a real difference.

Doing a monthly testicular self‑exam helps you get to know what’s normal for you, so you’re more likely to notice any changes early.

Look out for:
➡️Lumps or swelling
➡️Changes in size or shape
➡️A feeling of heaviness or discomfort

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Contact your GP for advice. Early detection of testicular cancer saves lives 💙

🩸 Did you know there’s more than one way blood donations help people with cancer?
When someone is going through cancer treatment, blood donations can be absolutely lifesaving. Different parts of donated blood support patients in different ways:
❤️ Red blood cells help carry oxygen around the body. Cancer and treatments like chemotherapy can cause anaemia, making people extremely tired and breathless. Transfusions help patients feel stronger and continue their treatment.
🩹 Platelets help blood to clot. Many cancer patients need platelet transfusions because treatment can damage the bone marrow, increasing the risk of serious bleeding. Platelets only last a few days — so they’re always in high demand.
💛 Plasma supports the immune system and helps fight infection, which is especially important when cancer treatments weaken the body’s natural defences.
🌱 Stem cells (often donated by people who give blood) can rebuild healthy bone marrow and offer a potential cure for some blood cancers.

Every donation – whether it’s blood, plasma or platelets – gives someone with cancer the chance to keep going, recover, or even survive.

If you can donate, you could help someone fight cancer. 💪
