Regular breast health checks and appropriate screening help you identify changes that might need further investigation. Early detection is vital because breast cancer is generally easier to treat when diagnosed early.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve rounded up local organisations and healthcare providers that can help you access breast health education, clinical breast examinations and, where appropriate, diagnostic imaging.
Screening options vary: a clinical breast examination is not the same as a mammogram. If you notice a lump, nipple changes, or another concerning symptom, get checked by a healthcare professional rather than waiting for a routine screening appointment.
