October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — and there's a conversation we don't have often enough. 🎀
Most breast cancers are diagnosed in women over 55. Yet many older women stop screening, assuming they've aged out of the risk.
The truth is more nuanced. Screening recommendations do shift with age and overall health, but "older" never means "no longer at risk."
For seniors going through treatment, in-home care can make an enormous difference — help with meals, medication schedules, transportation to appointments, and simply not being alone on the hard days.
If your family is navigating this, you don't have to do it by yourselves. 💜
