October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Seeking medical intervention at an early stage is a vital factor in achieving the best possible outcome from a breast cancer diagnosis.
It's the key message from Consultant at Public Health, Dr Ross Keat this October, which is 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month'.
Symptoms can include lumps, a change in breast size and nipple discharge.
Though the vast majority of breast cancers occur in women, the condition can also affect men, Dr. Keat says they also need to be aware of the potential risks, especially if they have a family history of the disease:
