BLOG: July is Sarcoma Awareness Month

It is crucial to educate yourself and your loved ones on the symptoms of sarcoma. Early diagnosis, as we know increases chances of survival; If you notice any signs or know anyone experiencing these symptoms, encourage them to see their GP as soon as possible.

People who have experienced sarcoma, should be encouraged to speak up about their experience from diagnosis to treatment. Sarcoma is one of the least talked about when it comes to cancer conversation. The more we have these conversations, the more it helps shed light on these types of cancers, and more research and development can be done. More clinical trials can be carried out, early and effective diagnosis can also be improved, which ultimately save lives.
