🎀 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS | KNOW YOUR NORMAL🎀

Your breasts are unique to you and knowing what’s normal for your body can help you notice changes early.

Take a moment to get to know your breasts and the surrounding areas, including your armpits. There’s no right or wrong way to check, the important thing is knowing what’s normal for you.

🔎 Be aware of changes such as:
- A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
- Changes in breast size, shape or appearance
- Skin changes, dimpling, redness or puckering
- Ni**le changes, including discharge or inversion
- Swelling in the breast, chest or armpit
- Any persistent or unusual change

🌸 Remember:
✔️ Know your normal
✔️ Notice changes
✔️ Seek medical advice if something feels different
✔️ Attend recommended breast screening, even if you feel well

Don’t wait for your next screening appointment if you notice a new or unusual change.

💞 Early awareness matters. Your health matters. You matter 💞

Our Director Kaleisha is taking on an epic challenge this October – and needs your support.
She will be walking 58km for the 58 Aussies diagnosed with breast cancer every day. And to help find the next breast cancer breakthrough.

Will you donate to support her challenge, and help her reach her fundraising goal?

You’ll fund world-class cancer research, prevention programs, and support services at Cancer Council, to support people affected by cancer before, during and after treatment.

Cancer Council is Australia’s leading cancer charity working across every aspect of every cancer. They support families affected by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer. With your help, we can get closer to a cancer free future.

It’s all of us against cancer.

Are you with Us?

Beyond the Pink – Support Through Every Stage 🎀

This October, we’re looking beyond the pink ribbon to recognise the many different experiences of breast cancer.
From diagnosis and treatment, to recovery and life beyond cancer, support matters at every stage. 💗

For some, treatment may bring changes that continue long after the final appointment — including lymphoedema, swelling, scars, discomfort and changes to movement and body confidence.

As a lymphoedema clinic with oncology services, we’re here to provide education, guidance and supportive care throughout the journey, because care shouldn’t stop when treatment ends.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s remember:
🎀 Awareness matters.
🎀 Early detection matters.
🎀 Recovery matters.
🎀 And so does ongoing support.
Beyond the Pink — because every stage deserves support. 💗

🎀 National Awareness Day for Young Women with Breast Cancer 🎀
Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate, and it doesn’t only affect older women. Young women can be diagnosed too — often at a time when life is filled with careers, relationships, young families and plans for the future.
Today is about raising awareness, starting conversations and reminding young women to know their bodies and speak up when something doesn’t feel right. 💗
Early detection matters. Know what is normal for you, and if you notice a change, get it checked.
Today we stand with every young woman facing breast cancer, those undergoing treatment, those in recovery, and the families and friends walking beside them. 🎀
Know your body. Trust your instincts. Advocate for your health.
