You probably know I was diagnosed with Sarcoma last year
June 23rd is the start if sarcoma awareness week, the aim of the week this year is to ease awareness of symptoms wth GPs who may only ever come across one patient with sarcoma in their career.
Currently the average sarcoma is the size of a tin of beans before a patient sees a specialist compared to a grape or smaller for other cancers.
So the golf ball project was established asking gps to refer patients to one of the sarcoma specialists if a patient has a lump the size of a golf ball.
All you have to do is fill in the form found on the link below and take the pack to your GP. Simple really, it's free and you never know who you may help.
