We're back with another important question as part of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month series because knowing the signs can save lives.

Question of the Week:

Which could be a sign of breast cancer?

A) Change in breast size or shape
B) Redness or dimpling of the breast
C) Fluid coming from the ni**le
D) A firm lump in the breast or armpit
E) All of the above

Answer: E) All of the above

These can all be possible warning signs of breast cancer. If you notice any of them, don’t wait and see your doctor.

But remember: Early breast cancer often has no symptoms at all.
That’s why regular screening and mammograms are so important even when you feel fine.

Stay informed. Stay proactive. Early detection can save lives.

This is the final week to submit your guess for the candy jar contest. Every entry helps support the Susan G. Komen Foundation and brings you one step closer to winning an Amazon gift card!

Pam, a compassionate caregiver from Right at Home Twin Cities and South Suburbs, has been supporting Marion for over two years. During that time, she has made over 258 visits without ever being late or missing a single one! That kind of consistency and care doesn’t go unnoticed. In fact, Marion was so moved by Pam’s dedication that she had a custom award created to honor her remarkable reliability.

Pam now visits Marion three times a week for what they call “spa days,” bringing not just assistance, but joy, comfort, and companionship. Though Pam is known for her quiet, efficient approach to caregiving, she’s also a fierce advocate for her clients and always puts their needs first, going above and beyond in ways that speak volumes.

It is so easy to celebrate Pam’s excellence and the special bond she’s built with Marion. Her commitment is a beautiful example of improving the quality of life for those we serve, one meaningful visit at a time. 💙

At Right at Home of Essex County, we’re continuing to raise awareness all October long for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Which of the following is most likely to increase your risk of breast cancer?

A) Underwire bras
B) Antiperspirants
C) Breast implants
D) None of the above

Answer: D. None of the above!

Let’s bust some common myths:

🔸Underwire bras don’t increase your risk.
🔸Antiperspirants are safe to use.
🔸Breast implants do not cause breast cancer.

Your choice of bra, deodorant, or implants does not affect your breast cancer risk. Real risk factors include age, genetics, and lifestyle.

Knowledge saves lives. Keep the facts straight and help spread awareness.
