Let's clear up three breast cancer myths that can stop people from taking breast changes seriously.
“If it doesn't hurt, it's fine.”
Not necessarily. A concerning breast change doesn't have to be painful.
“If I find a lump, I have breast cancer.”
No. Many breast lumps are not cancer, but a new lump should still be assessed by a healthcare professional.
“Breast cancer only affects women.”
Breast cancer can occur in men too, although it's much less common.
Awareness isn't about fear. It's about having the information to act when something changes.
Know your normal. Notice changes. Get unusual changes checked. 🎀
