"Boobs: They Need Your Support!"
Hello lovely souls! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is vitally important that we check our boobs often. Early detection is so important. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chance of successful treatment. So it is important to check your breasts regularly and see your GP if you notice a change.
This next bit is taken directly from the Breast Cancer Awareness Website:
Common breast cancer signs and symptoms include:
a lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit – you might feel the lump but not see it
a change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling
a change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look red or inflamed
a change to the nipple, for example it has become pulled in (inverted)
rash or crusting around the nipple
any unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple
changes in size or shape of the breast
On its own, pain in your breasts is not usually a sign of breast cancer. But look out for pain that’s there all or most of the time.
Noticing an unusual change doesn’t necessarily mean you have breast cancer, and most breast changes are not because of cancer. But it’s important to get checked by your GP.
Men can also develop breast cancer but it is very rare. Read more about breast cancer in men here.
How to check your breasts
Checking your breasts only takes a few minutes. There's no special technique and you don’t need training to check your breasts.
Check the whole breast area, including your upper chest and armpits.
Do this regularly to check for changes.
It’s as simple as TLC: Touch Look Check
Touch your breasts: can you feel anything unusual?
Look for changes: does anything look different?
Check any changes with your GP
A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit
A change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling
A change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look red or inflamed
A nipple change, for example it has become pulled in (inverted)
Rash or crusting around the nipple
Unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple
Changes in size or shape of the breast
Pain in your breast or armpit that’s there all or almost all the time
Have you felt or seen anything unusual? If so, make sure you get checked out by your doctor as soon as possible.
If your doctor thinks you need any further testing, they will refer you to a breast clinic to see a specialist.
PLEASE KEEP CHECKING THEM and seek help if you find anything out of the ordinary.
Take care lovely souls and stay safe xoxo
