🌸 Wellness Wednesday Tip: Take a few minutes for a self-breast exam today. Early detection saves lives, know your body, check for changes, and don’t wait to speak with your doctor if something feels off. 💗

💗 Knowing the signs can save lives.

Breast cancer symptoms may include: lumps, changes in size or shape, skin dimpling, nipple discharge, or pain. If something feels off, don’t ignore it, check in with your doctor.

Early detection matters.

Men can be diagnosed with breast cancer too! While it is much rarer for a man to be diagnosed with breast cancer than a woman, it still accounts for around 1% of all breast cancer diagnoses.

💗 A gentle reminder: regular breast cancer screenings can save lives.

Early detection is key, so be sure to schedule your mammogram or screening and encourage the women in your life to do the same.

Prostate Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men.

1 in 8 men will face a diagnosis in their lifetime, and it accounts for 22% of new cancer cases each year.

Stay Vigilant. Get PSA Tested.
