Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Early Detection, Self-Exams & Nutritional Support

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a time dedicated to raising awareness, supporting women, and promoting early detection. At Pharma C, we believe that knowledge is the first step toward prevention and empowerment. Early detection can save lives. When breast cancer is found early, treatment is often more effective and recovery rates are higher. Women over 40 should have regular medical check-ups, while younger women should stay alert to any changes in their breasts. How to Perform a Self-Breast Exam: Performing a monthly self-exam helps you become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel.Here’s how to do it:1️⃣ Stand in front of a mirror and check for any changes in shape or skin texture.2️⃣ Raise your arms and look for any visible differences.3️⃣ Using the pads of your fingers, gently press your breast in circular motions to feel for lumps.If you notice anything unusual, contact your healthcare provider.
