As Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is a crucial time to emphasize once more the importance of prevention. Breast cancer affects many lives - not only women - and staying informed about regular screenings and early detection can make a significant difference. The daily challenges of breast cancer can be substantial: many women face side effects from treatment that impact their ability to manage everyday activities, including work. On top of that, workplace discrimination and fear of judgment also persist, unfortunately. Let’s create supportive environments where women feel empowered to prioritize their health and access necessary resources. By focusing on prevention and providing support, we can make a meaningful difference #consea #breastcancer #breastcancerawarenessmonth #prevention #health
