🎗️October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month🎗️
It’s time to honour the fighters, celebrate the survivors and remember the lives affected by breast cancer. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate, it affects all of us. While most commonly diagnosed in women, men can also be impacted by this disease. In Aotearoa more than 3,500 individuals are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, that is nearly 10 people per day.
This month, we stand together to raise awareness, encourage regular screening, and support life-saving research. Early detection saves lives, it could save yours or someone you love.
✅ Get checked
✅ Know the signs
✅ Support local charities
✅ Wear pink & share your story
This month, let’s raise awareness, support whānau affected by breast cancer, and encourage regular mammograms, especially for women and men over 45.
💬 Have you booked your mammogram? It's free for eligible wāhine in NZ.
