💛 Help us understand cancer awareness! 💛
We’re running a short survey about signs and symptoms of cancer, focusing on womb (endometrial) and stomach (upper GI) cancer.
We want to know what people understand about these cancers so we can give the right information and support. It only takes a few minutes, and there are no right or wrong answers.

Many people feel comfortable managing everyday minor ailments like coughs and colds themselves, particularly when they feel confident in recognising the symptoms and have successfully used over-the-counter medicine before.
