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.
