Breast Cancer Awareness Month is held from 1-31 October each year. It’s important for women of all ages to know what they can do to help find breast cancer early. Finding breast cancer early means there are more treatment options, and the chances of survival are greatest.

You don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check your breasts. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts as part of everyday activities like showering, dressing, putting on body lotion or simply looking in the mirror. Knowing what is normal for you will help you to detect any new breast or ni**le changes.

What is a stroke? A stroke happens when the blood supply to a part of your brain is suddenly reduced. This prevents your brain from getting oxygen and other nutrients found in your blood.

What are the signs and symptoms of a stroke?
To remember the signs of a stroke, remember the word FAST:

Face — Has their face or mouth drooped?
Arms — Can they lift both arms?
Speech — Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time is critical — If you see any of these signs, call triple zero (000) immediately and ask for an ambulance. Early treatment could save their life.

What is memory loss?
Everyone forgets things sometimes. Perhaps you can't always remember where you left your keys or think of the word you need straightaway.

Minor memory loss can happen as a part of normal ageing. These small changes in memory don't interfere with your everyday life. However, major changes in your memory are not normal at any age. If you find yourself forgetting important things more often, this is memory loss.

If you are getting forgetful or confused, you might be worried it's dementia. There are also other conditions that can lead to problems with your memory.

Liver function tests (LFTs) are common blood tests that check how well your liver is working. They measure different proteins, enzymes and other substances in your blood.

These tests help:

• find liver disease and liver problems
• check how severe any problems are
• track how well treatment is working

Your liver is a large organ in your abdomen. It helps your body by filtering harmful substances and breaking down medicines and alcohol. It also supports digestion, makes bile and produces important proteins and enzymes.

Kidney disease (also called renal disease) is when your kidneys are damaged or don't function as they should. If you have kidney disease that lasts for more than 3 months, it's called chronic kidney disease (or CKD).

Your kidneys' main job is to clean your blood and make urine (wee) to get rid of waste products. When your kidneys don't work properly, waste and fluid build-up inside your body.

Chronic kidney disease gets worse over time. It can eventually lead to kidney failure. If you are diagnosed and treated early, you may be able to slow down or stop your disease getting worse.

About 1 in 10 Australian adults has signs of chronic kidney disease. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are twice as likely to have chronic kidney disease.

Hay fever is the common name for allergic rhinitis. It happens when you come into contact with allergens (substances you are sensitive to). Allergens may include pollens, dust mites, moulds or dead skin cells. These allergens can trigger your immune system to have an allergic reaction.

Hay fever is common. It affects around 1 in 5 adults in Australia. But despite its name, it's not caused by hay and doesn't cause a fever.

Alcohol can interact with many medicines. This can change how both the alcohol and the medicine affect you. Alcohol also depresses your central nervous system (CNS). This means that it slows down your brain activity and the messages your brain sends to your body. When combined with medicines that also depress your CNS, the effect is stronger and can be very dangerous.

Always check with your doctor before you combine medicines and alcohol.
