OCTOBER BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH THINK PINK

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is held every October -  

 Whatever your age, size or shape it’s important to take care of your breasts. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, so it’s important to look after your breasts by being breast aware.

Being breast aware is part of caring for your body. It means getting to know how your breasts look and feel so you know what is normal for you. You can then feel more confident about noticing any unusual changes.

Most changes won’t turn out to be breast cancer, but if it is breast cancer, the sooner it is diagnosed the more effective treatment may be. 

The breast awareness 5-point code

1. You should know what is normal for you.
2. Know what changes to look for.
3. Look and feel.
4. Tell your GP about any changes straight away.
5. Go for breast screening when invited.
