Cancer in the family...time to get checked

FutureGuy · 2009-01-16 13:33:18

Hi all, With cancer a major issue on both sides of my family, it's time to bite the bullet and go for a check-up. I'm wondering would a usual GP check be sufficient or is there a service available that would be specifc to the the detection of various cancer. Thanks all!

Hi FutureGuy

My advice would be to head to your GP who will then be able to refer you onto the relevant screening programs, there isnt really a one stop cancer check shop if there are numerous types of cancer in your family.

Best of luck!
