Help prevent ill health with our March live chats
February 14, 2013 at 4:14 pm
March marks National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, as well as National Stop Smoking Day on Wednesday 13 March. The key to cancer survival is detecting the early warning signs as well as prevention through a healthy lifestyle, which is why we will be hosting a series of live chats with our experts to allow you to ask your questions on how to both live a healthier life and become more cancer aware.
In addition to our live chats on cancer and smoking, we will also be discussing diabetes and its impacts, another disease which can be largely controlled through prevention and awareness.
