Cancer roadshow in town

ROADSHOW . . . Joanne Knowles (bowel cancer screening programme), Derek Fenton and Louise Dewhurst (cancer awareness nurse)

SUPPORT for residents looking to cut their risk of cancer was on offer in Oldham as the Cancer Research UK cancer roadshow visited.

Visitors to the roadshow, which stopped on Albion Street in Oldham town centre on Tuesday and Wednesday, were able to get advice from nurses about how to spot cancer early as well as support to make positive health changes in their lives.

People were also encouraged to make a pledge, such as stopping smoking or starting to walk to work, to help reduce their risk of developing cancer.

The roadshow was founded in 2006 in partnership with the Marie Keating Foundation.
