It’s often said that having family members diagnosed with breast cancer increases your own risk. However, it’s important to know that around 85% of those diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. 📌While it’s wise to stay aware, especially if you have a family history of cancer, not having a family link is no reason to ignore your health. 🎀🩷 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩) 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 1 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧!

When you are over 40years, your defense against breast cancer must be a little more aggressive. Supplement your monthly breast self-exam with an annual or biennial breast screening with a mammogram. 📌P.S The mammogram can detect abnormalities or lumps one's fingers will find hard to feel. 🎀🩷 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩) 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 1 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧!
