Breast Cancer Awareness: It’s All About Prevention, Detection & Support
October reminds us of the importance of taking charge of our own and others' breast health. At our compounding pharmacy, we believe knowledge + care can make a real difference.
🔍 Know the warning signs:
Lumps or masses in breast tissue
Changes to skin texture (dimpling, puckering, redness)
Nipple changes: discharge, inversion, itching
Swelling or pain
📆 Take proactive steps:
Monthly self-exams and regular clinical breast exams
Screening mammograms when advised by your health provider
Understand your risk: family history, genetics, hormone factors, lifestyle choices
🥦 Lifestyle matters:
Healthy eating, staying active, keeping a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol all contribute to a lower risk.
🤝 You don’t have to do it alone:
Support networks are essential. In addition to family and friends, lean on providers and our pharmacy team for support and guidance.
