World Cancer Day 2017 – Global Statistics

Saturday 4th Feb 2017 is World Cancer Day 2017.

This year it is of particular importance to me as one of my friends was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer just over one month ago. Last week he was given a 50-50 chance of surviving 2017.

So it would be great if you would take part in tomorrow’s social media thunderclap. Find out a bit more about it here.

But better information is important as is regular screening for cancer.

So get the facts with this new infographic, highlighting global cancer statistics, trends with an action list of what you can do to prevent cancer.

World Cancer Day 2015 – check out this great way to show your support. #KissCancerGoodbye


World Cancer Day 2015

World Cancer Day 2015

This Wednesday 4th Feb sees one of the most important days in the medical awareness diary. The day in question is World Cancer Day.

This year social media is playing a big part in help raise awareness. One idea is to use the hashtag #KissCancerGoodbye and share a picture of you kissing a friend, family member, patient or pet. If you would share them on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media you use.

World Cancer Day have also produced a page cover for Facebook users. You can see it above. Please download and place it on your Facebook page even for just a few hours.

You might also be interested in joining our cancer community called CancerTalk. This is a space where all those in the cancer community can share experiences and provide support.

Thanks very much in advance.
