Why Breast Cancer Awareness Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Ireland. Thanks to research and early detection, survival rates have risen to 88% — but awareness and regular checks remain essential.
Signs & Symptoms to Look Out For:
-
A lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
-
Changes in breast size or shape
-
Dimpling or puckering of the skin
-
Nipple changes (inversion, rash, or unusual discharge)
-
Persistent pain in the breast or armpit
👉 If you notice any of these changes, don’t delay seeking medical advice.
How to Check Yourself
-
Self-Exams: Check your breasts monthly, noticing any changes in shape, texture, or skin appearance.
-
Professional Check-Ups: Book a consultation if you’re unsure or notice changes.
-
Screenings: Attend mammograms when invited (from age 50 in Ireland, or earlier if at higher risk).
💡 Early detection saves lives — getting into the habit of regular checks is one of the most important steps you can take.
