Info sharing:
The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A lump that is painless, hard and has uneven edges is more likely to be cancer. But some cancers are tender, soft and rounded. It's important to have anything unusual checked by a doctor. Other signs of breast cancer include the following:
•Swelling of all or part of the breast.
•Skin irritation or dimpling.
•Breast pain.
•Nipple pain or the nipple turning inward.
•Redness, scaliness or thickening of the nipple or breast skin.
•A nipple discharge other than breast milk.
•A lump in the underarm area.

What is the Next Step if Breast Cancer is Detected?

Staging is the process of finding out how widespread the cancer is at the time it is found. The stage of a cancer is the most important factor in choosing a treatment option. The stage is based on the results of the physical exam, biopsy and other tests the doctor may have done. The Ministry of Health Malaysia has, since 1 August 2011, embarked on a Women's Health Campaign that will conclude on 30 October 2011. The campaign is targeting women from across Malaysia, who will now be able to access any public health clinic in the province for cervical cancer and breast cancer screening, family planning assistance, antenatal care, contraceptive choices and chronic diseases management. The aim of the Women's Health Campaign is to empower women to look after their health and well-being. The campaign continues to create heightened awareness and provides women in the province with a holistic approach to their health. In an effort to bolster this campaign, the department has also extended its operating hours of certain facilities to accommodate working women.

Remind your loved ones, family members and friends to show their support by going pink or buying pink!
