it’s breast cancer awareness month 💕 an important time to check in with yourself, your breasts, and reach out to those you know who are affected by the disease.
it’s best to catch symptoms early. how can you do that? by regularly checking yourself for lumps and visual breast changes.
here’s a list of signs to look out for 👀
- new lumps, thickening, or changes.
- dimpling, swelling, or changes to the skin or ni**le.
- trust your instinct. if something feels different, speak to your GP.

did you know that breast cancer can spread beyond the breast, becoming secondary breast cancer ?
according to ‘nearly 30% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer will see their disease spread to other organs and develop secondary breast cancer, and this can sometimes be years after primary breast cancer’.
whilst some breast cancer cases are treatable when caught early, other cases (such as secondary breast cancer cases) are not. this is why it is so critical that we raise awareness, and support the incredible charities that help fund research into finding a cure 💛
let’s be mindful this October, and check in with our bodies and each other.
together, we can empower each other with knowledge, compassion, and strength.
