Don’t Ignore It – Even Once

💬 “I only saw blood once…”

Blood in your urine might come and go. It might be very slight. But even a single episode should always be checked.

Just because it stops doesn’t mean the problem has gone away. Seeing your GP early can help rule out serious causes and get you the right care quickly.

It’s More Common Than You Think

📊 Bladder cancer is not a rare cancer

Around 21,000 people in the UK are diagnosed every year – that’s over 60 people every day. It’s one of the 10 most common cancers, yet awareness remains low.

Knowing the symptoms and acting early can help improve outcomes. Don’t wait if something doesn’t feel right.

🚨 Blood in your pee is a warning sign

It might look:

• Pink
• Red
• Brown or rusty
• Like streaks or clots

Even if it only happens once, don’t ignore it. It could be a symptom of bladder cancer, and it’s always worth getting checked.

👀 Sneak peek: “please don’t die of ignorance.”

In this month’s news round-up, Steve and Femi discuss the growing push to increase bowel cancer screening uptake. With stories from Joel — whose cancer was found through routine screening — and Olympian Iwan Thomas, the message is clear: taking part in screening can save lives.

They also look at the continued impact of Dame Deborah James’ legacy, as the Bowelbabe Fund reaches an incredible £20 million, supporting research and awareness years after her passing.

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month

Blood in your urine is the most common sign of bladder cancer. It might happen just once. It might be a small amount. But it’s not something to ignore.

If you notice anything unusual, get it checked by your GP as soon as possible. Early diagnosis can make a real difference to outcomes.
