🌟 Myth-busting alert! "Only women with a family history of cancer should get screened"? 🧬🚫

Time to debunk that notion!

Fact: While family history can be an additional risk, the truth is, most women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer have no family history of cancers at all! ‘Wag tayong pakampante! Regular screenings are essential for everyone, regardless of family background. 🌈💪

Safe is good, but do you know what's better?🤔 ✨ SAFER.✨

While self-exams are crucial, here's the truth: mammograms can catch abnormalities that may not be felt. 💖 It's not a competition; it's a powerful duo. The combination of self-exams and regular mammograms is the key for early detection! 💪

Wondering where to get screened? 🏥 Mammograms are available at major hospitals, specialized breast clinics, and even through mobile mammography units. 🚐

The Philippine Cancer Society and the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care are here to provide information and support for breast cancer screenings. 🌸 And don't forget to tune in to Kasuso Foundation's programs too! 🎗️

🤔"No boyfriend since birth, safe na ako, 'di ba?"
Big NO-NO, Ka-GIYA! 🙅

Cervical cancer doesn't discriminate based on your relationship status. 💖 So whether you're single, taken, or somewhere in between, screenings are essential for all women. 🌸 In the Philippines, where HPV prevalence is high, regular screenings are our armor against cervical cancer.

Speaking of protection! 🌈 The HPV vaccine is a superhero, but it's not the whole story. It guards against some high-risk strains, but regular Pap smears complete the saga for comprehensive screening. 💪 You can find screenings at public hospitals, private clinics, and women's health centers. 🏥 The Department of Health often conducts free or subsidized screenings as part of public health programs, so don't hesitate to inquire! 🌟

It’s about time to take charge of our health, Ka-GIYA! 🎗️ for a future where empowerment prevails!

🚫 Myth Busted! ✨

Contrary to popular belief, cancer doesn't check your age before knocking on the door. 💖 Younger women, you're not invincible, and early detection is your superpower! 💪

Screenings aren't just for a certain age group; they're a universal shield against the unexpected. Let's break free from age stereotypes and embrace comprehensive healthcare for everyone. 🌸 Ligtas ang may alam! Being informed is both a privilege and a power, and early screenings are our weapon against cancer! 🌈🌸🎗️
for a future where myths crumble, and health triumphs!
