This has affected the most precious women in my life. Not only have I learned the immeasurable value of early diagnosis with screenings but that your life is more valuable than accepting protocols as your standard of care. Do you diligent research, talk to survivors and those who have metastatic breast cancer early in your treatment. Gain from their knowledge and hard earned tenacity! And my goodness go get your bo***es smooshed for a good cause. . . Your life!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. đź’—
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.
đź’ˇ 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.
