Cancer Screening Resources – What Happens Next Series
Early screening and diagnosis of cancer increases the chances of it being more treatable and survivable. However, it can be scary to have lots of test done when you don’t know what to expect. Therefore, Ansar, CoppaFeel! and Orchid created the ‘What Happens Next Series’. These are easy read cancer screening resources that explain in an accessible way what happens after you notice a change in your chest or testicles.
The resources also explain the common tests done in cancer screening, such as mammograms, biopsies and ultrasounds. Each resources has space at the end for you to write down any questions you may want to ask the doctor during your appointment.
Our hope is that these resources will help people with a learning disability feel more comfortable going to the doctor when they notice a change in their bodies.
