Understanding Cancer and Symptoms Of Cancer: Early Detection and Awareness with Dr. Ranj
Have you or someone you love been impacted by a cancer diagnosis, scare or otherwise? Unfortunately, that is the reality of so many of us today. In this crucial episode of Millennial Mind, I sit down with Dr. Ranj, an NHS clinician, author, and columnist, to discuss the importance of early detection and awareness of cancer symptoms. With statistics showing that one in two people will likely get cancer in their lifetime, this conversation emphasises why recognising early signs such as unexplained weight loss, excessive night sweats, new lumps, or persistent skin changes is vital for better outcomes. We also touch upon cultural barriers, especially within South Asian communities, and the impact of stigma and embarrassment in delaying diagnosis. Our goal is to reassure and encourage everyone to seek medical advice promptly for any concerning symptoms. For more information, visit nhs.uk/cancer-symptoms.
