4 | Cancer Screening | VERY HIGH | Contact when expected or unexpected | Patience and resilience | When your personnummer changes, your automated reminders for cancer screenings change. Keep track somewhere to know when to contact them to make a booking such as setting a Google Calendar reminder. Try to book at an LGBTQIA+ unit if they're available in your area. A self-test can sometimes come in the post (especially for cervical cancer), contact the reponsible clinic to opt-out of this. Use 1177 to find guidance on what you need and when you'll need it, a reliable alternative source is nhs.uk Be wary in particular of Cervical Cancer & Prostate Cancer checks, these are most common |
