Cancer Self-Checks

Cancer Is Not The “C-word” People Were Afraid To Talk About Years Ago

Yes, it can be devastating, but it can also often be prevented, early-detected and treated before it becomes life-threatening.

Learn How to Check for Cancer at Home

This is the conversation we all need to have and what Self chec is about. Please check the left-hand menu on this page to learn about and see how you can become more proactive in taking better care of yourself and nudge others to do the same.

IMPORTANT: We recognize that the national cancer advisory organizations sometimes do not agree about specific cancer guidelines for self-checks and doc-checks, often making it confusing to the public about what to do.

That is why we are asking you to err on the side of caution by always consulting a health professional to advise you in the health choices you make. Thank you for taking good care of yourself.
