Breast cancer awareness hits home for me in a profound way. As a 25-year-old, I watched my mother’s life be taken by breast cancer in just three short months. It was a devastating reminder of how aggressive this disease can be if not detected early.
Breast cancer is highly survivable when caught in time, and that's why awareness, early detection, and regular screenings are so important. 💗 I stand with the incredible survivors, advocates, and those still fighting this battle. Let's keep spreading the word and making a difference.
Regular Mammograms:
Mammograms are the most effective screening tool for early detection. Women aged 40 and above, or those with higher risk factors, should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for regular screenings.
Self-Exams:
Performing monthly breast self-exams allows you to become familiar with your body. This helps you notice any unusual changes, like lumps, swelling, or shifts in size or shape, that should be reported to a doctor.
Above all, advocating for yourself is crucial. If something feels off, trust your instincts and push for further evaluation. Early detection saves lives! 💗
