We see pink everywhere in October. Behind it is a message that can save lives. 🩷 Awareness matters, but action matters more.
1 in 8 Canadian women will face breast cancer in her lifetime. But breast health isn’t only about remembering to book a mammogram. It’s also about knowing your own body, noticing when something changes, and understanding what screening is right for you.
Be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. If something changes, don’t ignore it.
And know your breast density. Dense breast tissue can make cancers harder to see on a mammogram and may mean you need additional screening, such as an ultrasound or an MRI. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.
If you’re due for a mammogram, have been putting off an appointment, or don’t know your breast density, consider this your gentle, but firm reminder. 🩷 Early detection saves lives.
