As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, there's one more message we'd like to share: breast cancer doesn't only affect women. ♀️🎗️♂️

Although it's rare, men can develop breast cancer too. Because most men don't know this, changes are often ignored and the cancer is found later than it should be. The signs to look out for are similar to those in women: a lump or thickening in the chest or under the ni**le (usually painless), a ni**le that turns inward or has a discharge, changes to the skin, or a lump in the armpit.

If you notice any of these changes, please don't feel embarrassed and don't wait. Speak to your pharmacist, doctor or clinic. And to everyone reading this, share it with the men in your life – the fathers, brothers, husbands, sons and friends.

Many strokes can be prevented, and the everyday choices we make really do add up. (But no, we're not asking you to run a marathon or give up the Sunday braai! 😉)

👉 Check out these four habits that help to lower your risk: get moving on most days, eat less salt and more fresh food, stop smoking and limit alcohol, and take your medication as prescribed.

If you're on chronic medication for blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol, taking it exactly as prescribed is one of the most important things you can do. Skipping doses or running out between repeats can put you at risk without you even realising it.

Your pharmacist can help you stay on top of your repeats and answer any questions about your medication. You don't have to change everything at once – start with one small habit this week. 🧡

☀️ BEAT THE HEAT WITH PELICAN PHARMACY! 💧

As we head into the summer months, let’s prioritise our health and safety! 🧡💚 High temperatures can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke, so taking a few simple precautions can make all the difference.

💧 Drink plenty of water
🧴 Protect your skin with sunscreen
🧢 Wear a hat and lightweight clothing
🌳 Stay cool and seek shade
🍉 Enjoy fresh, hydrating foods
💚 Check in on loved ones, especially children and the elderly.

⚠️ Know the signs of heat-related illness, including dizziness, headaches, nausea and weakness. If you suspect heatstroke, seek emergency medical help immediately.

Your health is our priority! Visit Pelican Pharmacy for advice on staying safe, hydrated and healthy this summer. ☀️

STAY COOL. STAY SAFE. STAY WELL.

When someone you love is facing breast cancer, it can be hard to know what to say or do.

Often, the most helpful support is practical. Offer a lift to an appointment, cook a meal, help with the school run, collect their medication, or simply sit and listen. Being specific helps too: 'I'm bringing supper on Thursday' is so much easier to accept than 'Let me know if you need anything'.

And if you are the one going through treatment, please remember that it's okay to say yes when help is offered.

To everyone walking this road, and everyone walking beside them: your neighbourhood pharmacy is here for you – whether you need advice, your medication or just a friendly face. 🫶
