Today we're supporting Wear It Pink, raising awareness of breast cancer and helping to support vital research and services for people affected by the disease.
Wearing pink might be a simple action, but the message behind it is important: raise awareness, know your body, recognise possible changes and seek medical advice when something doesn't feel right.
๐ Be breast aware
Breast cancer can cause a number of different signs and symptoms. Changes to look out for can include:
โข A new lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit
โข Changes in the size or shape of a breast
โข Changes to the skin, such as dimpling or puckering
โข Changes to the ni**le, including inversion or a rash
โข Unusual ni**le discharge
โข Persistent pain in the breast or armpit
โข Any other new or unusual change
Most breast changes will not be cancer, but it's important to get new or unusual changes checked by a healthcare professional.
๐ Early recognition matters
Knowing what is normal for your body can make it easier to notice when something changes. Breast awareness isn't about following a complicated routineโit's about regularly being aware of how your breasts normally look and feel.
If you notice something unusual, don't ignore it or feel embarrassed about seeking advice.
๐ Why do we Wear It Pink?
Wear It Pink brings people together in workplaces, schools and communities to raise money for Breast Cancer Now, supporting breast cancer research and people affected by the disease.
Whether you're wearing pink, organising a workplace fundraiser, making a donation or simply sharing reliable information, every conversation can help increase awareness.
For healthcare professionals, it's also an opportunity to reinforce the importance of patient education, compassionate communication, early recognition and person-centred care.
๐ Wear pink. Raise awareness. Support research. Start conversations.
Together, we can help ensure more people understand the signs and feel confident seeking medical advice when they notice a change.
