October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. 🩷 Save or share this as a reminder to check in with your body all year long. Breast cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, so knowing what’s normal for you matters. A monthly self-exam can help you notice changes like a new lump, swelling, nipple discharge, or changes to the skin’s texture or color. Many changes aren’t cancer, but they’re always worth getting checked. When breast cancer is caught while it’s still localized, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. 🔗 Learn more about potential signs of breast cancer at the link in bio. #breastcancerawareness #breastcancer #cancerscreening #womenshealth Before you read it, we reviewed it.
