Did you know invasive lobular carcinoma can be difficult to see on mammograms?

Invasive lobular carcinoma is the second most common type of breast cancer, but it can be hard to see on mammograms.

Why? Because the cancer cells spread through the breast tissue, they don’t always form a lump the same way other cancers do.

Make breast self-checks part of your regular routine. Knowing your normal can help you spot when something isn’t. Click the link to watch our educational video that shows you how to perform a self-check: https://www.bcna.org.au/know-yourself-feel-yourself/

Did you know an estimated 40 per cent of people with a cancer diagnosis will experience clinically significant mental health issues.

Sometimes mental health issues present during treatment. For those with early breast cancer, they can also surface well after treatment and hospital care has concluded.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month, so BCNA is drawing attention to the important role that mental health support can play.

It is important to know that support is available throughout your breast cancer experience and BCNA can help.
