New lumps (especially hard ones with irregular edges), skin dimpling, ni**le discharge, persistent pain, or changes in breast shape all deserve your attention. Most breast changes aren't cancer, but waiting to find out isn't worth the risk! If something feels different from your normal, call your doctor.

Ladies, show yourself some love this February by including your annual checkups, such as breast screenings, in your self-care routine. Screening mammography is an effective tool for detecting breast cancer, and digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography) can improve detection rates compared to standard 2D imaging.

Remember that preventive care should be something you make time for because your health deserves that priority. What's one appointment you've been putting off that you can schedule this week?

I love what I do because I get to help women feel confident about their health. Over the years, I've noticed five things come up again and again in my conversations with patients, and every time I share them, I see women leave my clinic feeling more in control and just more prepared for their treatment plan.

One of the best ways to honor the National Cancer Consciousness Week is by taking one small step towards a healthier you this month. Ask about your family history. Do a quick breast self-check in the shower. Ask your friends when they last got screened, or go ahead and book your own. Pick the one that feels most doable for you!

Every week, we talk to women who have been putting off their screening for months, sometimes years. Some are worried about the cost, others can't find a time that works with their schedule, or they're anxious about what the results might show. A lot of women just don't know where to start. Whatever's been keeping you from booking, chances are we've heard it before and can help you find a way around it.

Read through the post and if something resonates with you, message us. We'll figure it out together.

National Cancer Consciousness Week happens every third week of January. In the Philippines, many breast cancer cases are found late because women aren't getting screened early enough. If you are over 40, you should be getting mammograms every 1-2 years.

If it's been a while, message us to schedule your screening.
