Breast Cancer Awareness Is More Than One Month.

Behind every pink ribbon is a story. A story of courage, hope, heartbreak, resilience, and love.

For some families, pink means so much more than a colour. It represents the fighters still facing the battle, the survivors who inspire us, the loved ones we remember, and those who may still face this journey in the future.

Today, and every day, we honour those living with breast cancer, stand beside those undergoing treatment, support those on the road to recovery, celebrate the survivors, and remember those whose lives have touched hearts forever. We also recognise the silent struggles of those whose battles are not always visible.

Here’s to more awareness, more research, earlier detection, more treatment options, and above all, more survivors.

Let’s continue to stand together, spread awareness, encourage regular screening, and remind every person affected by breast cancer that they are not alone.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

A mammogram is an important screening tool that can detect breast cancer at an early stage, sometimes before a lump or other symptoms develop. Early detection can improve treatment outcomes and save lives.

💕 Ladies, prioritise your breast health. Speak to your healthcare professional about appropriate mammogram screening, particularly if you are over 40 or have an increased risk of breast cancer.

You are valued, your health matters, and you deserve to be cared for. 💗

Because every woman matters. Early detection saves lives.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Know Your Breasts. Don’t Ignore a Lump.

Early detection starts with awareness.

Did you know that cancerous breast lumps are often found in the upper outer area of the breast, close to the armpit?

However, breast lumps can develop in different areas, and not every lump is cancerous. Many are caused by noncancerous conditions, such as cysts, fibroadenomas or fibrocystic breast changes.

So, what should you look out for?

🎀 A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit.
🎀 Changes in the size or shape of your breast.
🎀 Changes to the skin, such as dimpling or puckering.
🎀 Changes to the ni**le or unusual ni**le discharge.

Get to know your breasts. Becoming familiar with their normal appearance and feel can help you notice changes that may need medical attention.

If you discover a new lump or notice an unusual change, please don’t ignore it or wait for it to go away. Arrange an appointment with your healthcare professional, even if it isn’t painful. Although most breast lumps are not cancerous, every new lump deserves proper assessment.

Remember, breast awareness is important at every age, and your personal risk factors should be discussed with your doctor to determine the most appropriate screening plan for you.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, give yourself the gift of early action.

Your health matters. Your concerns matter. And knowing when to seek help can make a difference.

KNOW YOUR RISK. KNOW YOUR BODY.
Breast cancer can affect anyone and knowing your risk can help you make informed choices about your health.

Certain factors can increase the risk of breast cancer, including:
• Increasing age
• Being overweight or obese
• Alcohol use
• A family history of breast cancer
• Previous radiation exposure
• Reproductive history
• To***co use

But here’s something important to remember: most women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a known family history of the disease. In fact, approximately 80% of breast cancers occur in women who have no known modifiable risk factor other than being female and increasing age.

That’s why breast health awareness matters.
🎀 Know your risk. Know your body. Don't ignore changes.

If you notice anything unusual or have concerns about your breast health, speak to your healthcare professional. Early awareness can make a difference.

CHRONIC DISEASES: TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH

Chronic diseases are among the leading causes of illness, disability and death. In South Africa, common chronic conditions include high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar mood disorder and Crohn’s disease.

Many chronic diseases are linked to common risk factors, including:
• Smoking
• Poor nutrition
• Physical inactivity
• Excessive alcohol use

Chronic conditions are often long-term and may require lifelong management and regular monitoring. Some people and communities may also face barriers that make healthy lifestyle choices more difficult.

Regular health checks can help with early detection, monitoring and effective management.
Your health matters to us.
Contact Dr. Johan Haarhoff to schedule your regular health check.

Swollen Lymph Glands: When Should You See a Doctor?
Swollen lymph glands are often a sign that your body is fighting an infection. In many cases, they improve on their own within 1–2 weeks.

However, it’s important to speak to your doctor if your swollen glands:
• Keep getting bigger
• Don’t improve within a week
• Feel hard or don’t move when pressed
• Are accompanied by night sweats or a very high temperature
• Occur without any other signs of infection
• Are located above or below your collarbone

Lymph glands can sometimes become quite large in response to infection or other conditions.
When in doubt, get them checked. Your health matters.
