Yet, many people are diagnosed late because symptoms can be subtle, mistaken, or ignored.
Common signs:
Dull back ache that won’t go
Feeling very tired all the time
Blood in your wee
Constant night sweats
If you are experiencing these symptoms, or something doesn’t feel right, please contact your GP. Early diagnosis can save lives.
