AS part of the My Survivor campaign, a TV advert was launched by the Government last year showing people undergoing “simple” cancer checks – such as mammograms and sending samples in the post.

The Detect Cancer Early Survivors campaign aims to illustrate that more people are surviving cancer than before, and drive home the fact that getting checked early plays a big part.

People were also encouraged to share their own stories on social media, using the #MySurvivor hashtag.
