🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Scottish women, with 1 in 7 developing the disease. Early detection saves lives – women are 5 times more likely to survive if it’s caught at its earliest stage.
In Scotland, the NHS offers routine breast screening to women aged 50–70. Eligible women are invited every three years, and the process usually takes around 10 minutes.
💡 Remember: Breast screening doesn’t prevent cancer, but it helps detect cancers early, often before they can be seen or felt.
