🌏Today is World Kidney Cancer Day🌏

Kidney cancer is not very common in Australia however 3000 people are diagnosed every year.

If you are experiencing the symptoms listed by Kidney Health Australia in their post below, please make an appointment to speak with your doctor.

#KidneyCancerDay #KidneyHealth #KidneyCancerToday is World Kidney Cancer Day and the focus is talking about kidney cancer to help raise awareness of this deadly but forgotten cancer – so let’s talk.

Jeffery was diagnosed with kidney cancer after experiencing chronic UTIs which lead to further tests. Seeing his GP promptly meant that Jeffery was diagnosed early and was able to be successfully treated and is now cancer-free.

Unfortunately, this is not the story for everyone, as the symptoms for kidney cancer often go unnoticed until it is too late. If caught early enough, kidney cancer can be successfully treated.

Some of the symptoms to look out for include:
🔴 blood in the urine or changes in urine colour to dark, rusty or brown
🔴 pain in the lower back or one side which is not due to an injury
🔴 pain or lump in the abdomen or side
🔴 weight loss
🔴 constant tiredness
🔴 newly developed high blood pressure
🔴 fever or night sweats which are not linked with any other conditions.

🍎June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month🍎
An initiative from Bowel Cancer Australia.

Many people think Bowel Cancer is an "old person's disease" but this is not the case. 1 in 11 Australians diagnosed are under the age of 50 and it is the deadliest form of cancer for people aged between 25-29.

If you have a family history of Bowel Cancer please make sure you are aware of the signs and symptoms and be sure to tell your doctor.
