October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month 💚
Liver cancer often shows few signs in its early stages, which is why awareness matters so much. Symptoms can include unexplained weight loss, pain or swelling in the upper right side of the tummy, feeling very full after small meals, and yellowing of the skin or eyes.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait. Talk to your GP. Knowing your body and acting early can make a real difference.
This month, we stand with everyone affected by liver cancer, including patients, families and the carers who support them every day.
For information and support, the Irish Cancer Society’s Support Line is there to help.
