Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but early detection can improve outcomes so let’s share awareness and know the signs. Breast cancer can also develop in men, but this is rare with less than one in 100 (less than 1%) cases in the UK.

Remember to regularly touch, look and check. Get to know your normal by checking your breasts regularly. Touch your breasts. Look for changes. Check anything new or unusual with a GP.
