Australia encourages men to grow a beard in December to raise awareness for bowel cancer. The disease affects 1 in 10 Aussie men making it Australia’s second biggest cancer killer, it’s also one of the most treatable when detected early.
While the risk of bowel cancer increases significantly with age, the disease doesn’t discriminate, affecting people off all ages. Make sure to talk to your doctor if you notice any changes and stay on top of you FOBT tests. It can be done in the privacy of your own home and is a great way for early detection.

National Skin Cancer Action Week
Approximately two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime. Tragically, around 2,000 Australians are expected to die from this disease this year, with nearly twice as many men as women succumbing to melanoma.
Despite these alarming statistics, research indicates that many Australians, particularly men, are not consistently using all five recommended forms of sun protection. This year, Cancer Council Australia is urging everyone, especially men over 40, to adopt SunSmart habits to reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
During National Skin Cancer Action Week and throughout the summer, always remember to:
• Slip on sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible
• Slop on SPF50+ broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen
• Slap on a broad-brimmed hat
• Seek shade
• Slide on sunglasses
