Your reminder to be breast aware! 💕

Being breast aware means being familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel, so you can notice any changes over time. There’s no special technique or set schedule, just regularly paying attention to your breasts during everyday moments like showering, getting dressed, applying lotion or looking in the mirror.

Know your normal and be aware of changes, such as:
• A new lump, swelling or thickened area
• Changes in breast size, shape or appearance
• Dimpling, redness or changes to the skin
• Nipple changes or unexpected discharge
• Swelling or discomfort in the armpit or near the collarbone
• Persistent, unusual breast or nipple pain

Most breast changes aren't cancer, but if you notice any changes, a quick check with your GP or a healthcare professional can make all the difference. 🎀

Do you know what the stages of cancer mean?

The stage of a cancer describes how far the cancer has grown and spread at the time of diagnosis.

Stages are used to describe the spread of solid tumours, like breast, bowel or lung cancers.

Knowing the stage of a cancer is important as it helps doctors to work out the best treatment options.

Did you know that head and neck cancers start in any part of the head and neck area, including the nose, mouth, throat and sinuses?

More than 1,500 new cases of head and neck cancer will be diagnosed in NSW this year, so we’re helping people find the right facts, information and resources.

This World Head and Neck Cancer Day, we’re encouraging people to look out for symptoms:

➡️A sore or ulcer that doesn’t heal
➡️Pain in the mouth, throat, or ears, or pain when swallowing
➡️Red or white patches on the tongue, gums or mouth
➡️Bleeding from the mouth or in the saliva (spit)
➡️Numbness or tingling in the face
➡️Pressure in the neck when lying down

If you have any symptoms or concerns, you should see a GP.
