If caught early, it can often be cured, but a cure is not likely if the disease spreads to other parts of the body. That’s why it’s important to recognise symptoms and get a diagnosis as early as possible. In many cases, there are no obvious symptoms at first, but if they do occur, they can be similar to those of less serious conditions like urinary tract infections and kidney stones.

My dad has incurable cancer – I’m fed up of people optimistically telling me he’ll be OK
I’ve started taking mental notes of every weird thing someone says to me when I tell them my dad is dying. ‘You never know what they can do these days.’ ‘It’s probably not as bad as you think.’ ‘Hope he gets well soon!’ When he first received his diagnosis almost five years ago, I was a little more sympathetic to these optimistic well-wishers. By now, I have run out of patience. We need to get better at talking about dying. My dad’s cancer has never been the type you can cure. This was explained to us from the very beginning. The average life expectancy for people with his condition is around five years and we have been told we are coming to the end of the road. So why, even now, as our family meets with hospice workers and oncologists, are people still pushing their optimism on me? The fact is, we hate talking about dying – Brits especially. We’re an awkward bunch. We believe in stiff upper lips and ‘carrying on’. When people cry, we rush to make tea before … [Read more...] about My dad has incurable cancer – I’m fed up of people optimistically telling me he’ll be OK

Around one in three people never look for tell-tale signals such as a new mole or a change in colour or shape of an existing one.

The data comes as cases of the illness continue to rise in the UK with more than 2,500 skin cancer mortalities a year and 140,000 annual incidences of the disease.
