Baptist Health Corbin urges residents to educate themselves on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
Breast cancer remains the most diagnosed cancer among women, so it’s important for men and women to be vigilant and informed about the signs and symptoms of the disease. Baptist Health Corbin is raising awareness to promote early detection and treatment.
Early signs and symptoms of breast cancer include:
• A lump in the breast.
• A rash around the ni**le.
• Changes in the appearance, shape and size of the ni**le changes.
• Thickening of breast tissue.
• Discharge from the ni**le.
• Pain in the breast.
• Pain or swelling in the armpit.
• Skin on the ni**le may flake, peel or scale.
Early detection remains a crucial factor in the battle against breast cancer, so performing monthly breast cancer self-exams can be crucial.
“Monthly breast exams are important because they can help detect changes in your breast, such as a lump, thickening or dimpling. When breast cancer is detected early, the chances of survival are much greater,” Lindsey Jones, Breast Cancer Navigator at Baptist Health Corbin.
While mammograms can help detect cancer before feeling a lump, breast self-exams can help someone become more familiar with the look and feel of their breasts so irregularities can be noticed sooner. Reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as a new lump, sore spot, changes in the appearance of skin, or discharge from the ni**le.
To schedule your yearly mammogram, call 606.523.8602.

Baptist Health Corbin participates in National Drug Take Back Day

On Saturday, October 25, from 10 am to 2 pm, the Baptist Health Corbin Pharmacy and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. The Baptist Health Corbin Pharmacy, located at 1 Trillium Way, Corbin, has a secure disposal container available year-round, Monday through Friday, 7 am to 6 pm. (Sites cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Lynn McArthur, Pharmacist added, “Up to 80% of patients have leftover opioids after elective surgery. It is important to dispose of all unused, expired or unwanted prescription drugs so they don’t get into the wrong hands. Drug abuse is a very real problem in our area and we want to do everything we can to help eliminate this temptation.”

The National Drug Take Back Day is an effort backed by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to collect expired, unwanted and unused prescription medications. For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the October 25, National Take Back Day event, go to www.DEATakeBack.com or call Baptist Health Corbin Pharmacy at 606.526.8335.
