A CANCER charity will be offering advice at a football match.
Macmillan’s mobile information and support service bus will visit Blackburn Rovers this weekend to offer fans free advice and support on prostate cancer.
A specialist team of frontline health and social care professionals will be on hand outside Ewood Park on Saturday from 11am to 3pm.
They will offer support, advice and information on a range of issues, including different treatments, financial advice, exercise, getting back to work, or what local services might be available.
Anyone with any worries relating to any cancer is encouraged to stop by, no appointment needed,
Lucy Rogers, Macmillan Mobile Unit North West Team Lead, said: "We are delighted to be visiting Blackburn Rovers to provide free information and support, or answer any questions about cancer, from both sets of fans.
"Knowing what changes to look for and when to see your doctor could make a real difference.
You are not wasting your doctor’s time by getting your symptoms checked. The earlier prostate cancer is found, the more likely it is to be successfully treated.”
