Find cancer early

Knowing what is normal for you helps you notice changes. When you notice something different about your body – like a new growth or lump, increased fatigue or dramatic weight loss – it needs to be checked out. When cancer is found early, it’s often easier to treat.

Sometimes it may seem like a good idea to put off contacting your healthcare provider until later. You may be nervous to visit them in person when there are respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu circulating. But increased safety measures in offices mean that you can see a healthcare provider safely. Many healthcare providers are also finding new ways to reach their patients virtually and by phone.

A change to your body might be nothing, but it might be serious. Always see a healthcare provider if there are any changes to how you’re feeling or you have new physical symptoms. Get changes checked sooner rather than later.
