Proud to see CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association’s Child Cancer Smart campaign featured on BBC News, alongside Professor Bob Phillips. The feature highlights the importance of recognising the signs and symptoms of cancer in children and young people.
When it comes to symptoms, look out for those that:
🔢 Appear in clusters (more than one symptom at the same time)
⌛ Don't go away
📈 Get worse over time
It's important not to panic if your child has one of these symptoms. Most childhood illnesses clear up within a couple of weeks. But if symptoms don’t go away after two weeks or something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and see a doctor.
