As we approach the end of breast cancer awareness month and in line with the "Be The Early Bird" campaign, please can we remind you all of the importance of breast self-examination:

Look for changes in size, shape, or skin.
Touch & feel – for lumps or thickening.
If you notice an abnormal lump, seek medical care—even if the lump doesn’t hurt.

If something feels off—even if it doesn’t hurt—talk to your GP!
