October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally. In 2024, an estimated 2.4 million women were diagnosed and 694,000 died from the disease.
💡 Breast cancer is more likely to be successfully treated when detected and treated early.
Knowing the possible signs matters. These can include:
🔹 A breast lump or thickening, often without pain
🔹 Changes in the size, shape or appearance of the breast
🔹 Dimpling, redness, pitting or other skin changes
🔹 Changes in the ni**le or surrounding skin
🔹 Abnormal or bloody ni**le discharge
🩺 Most breast lumps are not cancer, but any abnormal lump should be checked by a health professional – even if it doesn’t hurt.
🧬 And remember: most women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a known family history of the disease.
🌸 Know the signs, pay attention to changes and seek care promptly.
