Bowel & Testicular Cancer Awareness Month
April 2025 is Bowel and Testicular cancer awareness month. This month, take some times to learn about these cancers and share what you know with others. The most important thing is to understand the signs and symptoms so you can check yourself and stay healthy.
Bowel Cancer included colon and rectal cancer, and is one of the most common cancers in the UK. It is mostly diagnosed in people over 60, but can be diagnosed in younger people.
Testicular cancer can affect anyone who has testicles, and is most likely to occur between the ages of 15 and 49.
