Breast cancer risk can be influenced by several factors, including age, family history, certain inherited genetic changes, reproductive history, lifestyle factors, and previous medical history.

Having a risk factor does not mean that someone will develop breast cancer, and some people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known risk factors.

Knowing your personal and family history can help you have informed conversations with your healthcare provider.

This month, we stand together to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support those affected by breast cancer.

It can affect anyone, and understanding the signs, risk factors, and importance of screening can make a meaningful difference.
Early detection can lead to more treatment options and better outcomes.Changes that deserve medical attention may include:

• A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
• A change in breast size or shape
• Changes to the skin, such as dimpling or unusual redness
• Changes to the ni**le, including inversion or unusual discharge
• Persistent pain or a change that is unusual for you

Not every breast change is cancer, but unusual or persistent changes should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

When someone you love is diagnosed with blood cancer, you may not always know what to say or do. Sometimes, the most meaningful support is simply being there.

Listen without judgement. Respect their feelings and boundaries. Offer practical help with appointments, meals, errands, or everyday tasks. Celebrate the good days, be patient through the difficult ones, and remind them that they don’t have to face everything alone.

And remember: supporting a loved one also means taking care of yourself.

TREATMENT IS NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

Treatment for blood cancer depends on the specific type and subtype of cancer, how advanced it is, the person’s overall health, and other individual factors.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell or bone marrow transplantation, or careful monitoring in selected cases.

A healthcare team will assess each patient and develop a treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.

With advances in cancer care, there are different treatment options available for many blood cancers.

KNOW THE SIGNS. KNOW YOUR BODY.

Blood cancer can present differently from person to person, and some symptoms may also occur with other health conditions.

Possible warning signs include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, frequent infections, prolonged fever, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, unusual bruising or bleeding, pale skin, and persistent bone or joint pain.

Having these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have blood cancer, but persistent or unusual changes should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Early assessment can help identify the cause and
guide appropriate care.

Blood cancer is not just one disease. It refers to a group of cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system.

The main types include leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, with each having different subtypes, characteristics, and treatment approaches.

Understanding the different types of blood cancer helps us recognise the importance of early medical assessment and appropriate care.

Let’s learn, share and raise awareness.
