We're at the Multicultural Festival in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga today chatting to the community about our cancer prevention and support services.

Come see us to chat our friendly team and try out our UV skin analysis machine to see the hidden skin damage caused by harmful UV radiation.

It's really important to us that we reflect the diverse communities we work with and support, and our work aims to reduce barriers for multicultural communities to access cancer screening and information.

Meet Jordan, Cancer Council SA’s Maintenance Officer!

Jordan spends a lot of his time working outdoors keeping our gardens tidy, making sure our building is looking its best and tackling any maintenance issues that come up.

With so much time spent outside, sun protection isn’t optional for Jordan - it’s part of the job. He makes sure to slip on a long sleeve shirt, slop on SPF50 or 50+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade when he can, and slide on sunglasses, every single day.

It’s a great reminder that no matter your job, if you’re working outdoors, sun protection is needed all year-round.

UV radiation is a class 1 carcinogen, alongside asbestos and to***co, and workplace UV exposure causes an estimated 200 melanomas and 34,000 other skin cancers in Australia each year.

UV damage to skin and eyes is cumulative, meaning it adds up over time, even on days when the UV index is low. Even short periods in and out of the sun across the day can add up to a high total UV dose – increasing long-term skin damage and risk of skin cancer.

If you or your team work outdoors, using sun protection daily is essential, no matter the season or the UV rating.

There is a group of South Australians you may not have heard of, and they are among the most generous people we know. They have made the same thoughtful choice, to leave a gift to Cancer Council SA in their Will. We call them the Daffodil Collective.

Recently we gathered with them for a morning full of stories, connection and gratitude. Because tackling cancer takes all of us, and they are proof of it.

This week, writing your Will online is free. It only takes about twenty minutes and is one of the most lasting ways you can help.

Your Will is a meaningful way to secure your legacy and continue to care for the people you love long into the future. Some, like this amazing group of people, also kindly choose to leave a gift to Cancer Council SA.

If you breathe in damaging diesel engine exhaust (DEE) most days at work, you can increase your risk of getting lung cancer.

Here are some signs to look out for:
• Walls or surfaces covered in soot.
• A smoky haze present when diesel engines are used.
• Blue or black smoke coming from diesel engines.

DEE contains a mixture of gases and soot. Because soot particles are so small, they can easily get deep into the lungs and cause a range of short-term and long-term health problems, including cancer.

Risk depends on many factors, including the number, age, and size of the engines, as well as the ventilation in the workspace where they are being used.

All workers deserve to be protected from the DEE. With new research showing that 3.95 million Australians are exposed to it at work, preventing exposure needs to be a priority.

Breast cancer doesn't always have symptoms which is why it's important to check your breasts for any changes.

You should see your doctor if you notice:

🩷 a lump, lumpiness or thickening, especially in just one breast
🩷 a change in the size or shape of the breast or swelling
🩷 any changes to the ni**le
🩷 a change in the skin such as dimpling or indentation, a rash or itchiness, scaly appearance, unusual redness or other colour changes
🩷 swelling or discomfort in the armpit or near the collarbone
🩷 ongoing, unusual breast pain not related to your period.

If you're over 40, especially 50 to 74, you can have a free mammogram through BreastScreen SA every two years. A breast screen takes just 15 minutes and can detect breast cancer at an early stage, before it can be felt.

🫶 Early detection really can make a difference.

Did you know men can also be diagnosed with breast cancer?

It was something that never really crossed Robert's mind until he accidentally felt a lump on the right side of his body.

He figured it was better to be safe than sorry and went to his GP to have the lump checked out. After a referral to a surgeon and a full-body scan, Robert was diagnosed with breast cancer on both sides of his body.

The first lump he felt, on the right side, was diagnosed as stage three. On the left side, he was surprised to learn he also had a stage one breast cancer growing as well.

Thankfully, following a double mastectomy, eight weeks of chemotherapy and four weeks of radiotherapy, Robert was declared cancer free.

Now, he's passionate about telling other men how important it is to regularly check themselves for lumps too.

"I was lucky I just happened to find it, purely by accident. That's what scares me. If I hadn't have felt the lump, that could have been it." - Robert

Whether it's once a month or every couple of months, Robert encourages men to feel their chests for any lumps and to go see their GP if they notice any significant changes in their body.
