1 in 8 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast Cancer Awareness Month aims to change that statistic.
Thanks for sharing @spaandclinic
October marks Breast Cancer Awareness month, and it serves an important reminder that we should regularly check our breasts.

Early detection is the best chance of fighting the disease. Regularly check your breasts (and encourage the women around you to do the same) and look for any changes.
Do not hesitate to see your doctor if something isn’t right. Most changes aren’t due to breast cancer, but it’s essential to see your doctor without delay.
I’m making an annual commitment to have a mammogram every October. At my age (48), it’s covered by Medicare and it takes only an hour of my day.
