Be Breast Aware5 point Breast Awareness code

Make breast awareness part of your routine. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a great time to start making breast awareness part of your routine. By getting into the habit of looking at and feeling your breasts from time to time, you’ll be quick to notice any changes. If you do, then talk to your GP.

Remember, most breast changes are usually nothing to worry about, but if cancer is found early, treatment is more likely to be successful.

Recent research shows that
70% of women found a change
in their breast themselves.
