#WorldCancerDay is here! π Swipe to read about my diagnosis.
Yesterday, my cancer diagnosis story was shared on @thecatscampaign's Facebook page. They're a great charity who are raising awareness of the common cancer symptoms using the #knowyoursymptoms hashtag.
There are so many ways you can get involved today, from donating to @cr_uk, @teenage_cancer, @clicsargent or @trekstock to raising awareness by sharing posts like this one!
You can also help YOURSELF by following the CATS Campaign on Insta, Twitter or Facebook. 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime so get clued up on the common symptoms π
