Today is International Day of Action for Women's Health - a global call to protect, promote and advance the health rights of women and girls everywhere.

Lobular Breast Cancer is the second most common form of breast cancer yet its not currently recognised as a distinct disease. Our campaign aims to ensure that Lobular Breast Cancer is recognised and treated as a distinct disease across the UK health system.

A particular focus of the campaign is to achieve change in breast treatment guidelines.

The campaign involves a range of activities, including the first UK patient survey which you may have already participated in, a media campaign to increase knowledge and information about Lobular, a study to identify the research evidence available or needed to change the guidelines, an MP drop-in which took place in March, and the development of new Lobular information materials for the public and health care professionals.

To take action, we ask that you please share our Lobular digests with your healthcare teams to help raise understanding of Lobular. You can download them from our website: https://buff.ly/egcgsNc

🎗Skin Cancer Awareness Matters 🎗

Melanoma and other forms of skin cancer can affect anyone, but early detection saves lives.
Take a moment to check your skin for any new or changing moles, spots, or unusual marks.

🧴 Protect your skin:
✔️ Wear sunscreen daily
✔️ Use protective clothing and hats
✔️ Avoid excessive sun exposure
✔️ Never ignore changes in your skin

A simple skin check could make all the difference. Encourage your loved ones to stay sun safe and schedule regular skin exams. 💛

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers, and recognising the signs early can make a real difference to outcomes. The most common symptom is blood in your p*e, even if it only happens once or is not painful, and it should always be checked by a GP.

Other symptoms to look out for include:
• Pain, burning or stinging when passing urine 💧⚠️
• Needing to p*e more often or urgently 🚽⏱️
• Repeated urinary infections 🔁🩺
• Pain in the lower tummy or back 🤕✨
• Feeling very tired or losing weight without trying 💙📉

These symptoms are often caused by other conditions, but it’s important not to ignore them. Getting checked early can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.
