Biggest Morning Tea

Let’s Talk Cancer Campaign is a fun and easy way to start talking about cancer prevention by making healthy lifestyle choices.

PNGCF will distribute cancer awareness materials to assist host a Let’s Talk Cancer event in communities, business houses or with friends and family and start the conversation about cancer.

The campaign is also a major fundraising event for PNGCF.

PNG Cancer Foundation’s volunteer health specialist Lois Booker told staff at Digicel PNG in Port Moresby today during PNGCF’s Biggest Morning Tea (BMT) Campaign.

Research suggests about 1 in 10 deaths in PNG are due to cancer.

Booker explained that the body is made up of tiny cells and cancer starts when one cell changes and grows out of control affecting nearby cells in a particular area of the body.

Most of the time the changing cells create a sore in your mouth that does not heal and this sore usually starts as a red or white patch in your mouth.

The awareness was in support of the PNG Cancer Foundation’s Biggest Morning Tea (BMT) campaign.
