Together We Care: Recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Care Initiatives

Knowing the signs can help save lives. Some symptoms to watch for include:
✔️ A new lump in the breast or underarm
✔️ Changes in breast size, shape, or appearance
✔️ Unexplained pain in the breast or ni**le
✔️ Skin changes such as dimpling, redness, or thickening
✔️ Ni**le discharge other than breast milk

If you notice any of these changes, talk with your healthcare provider right away. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

At Care Initiatives, we’re proud to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and remind everyone of the importance of prevention, awareness, and early care. 💗
