Pink October

Pink October, also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer, promoting early detection, and supporting those affected by the disease. It is a time for individuals and communities to come together to show support for breast cancer survivors, honour those who have lost their battle, and educate others about the importance of regular screenings and self-examinations. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection in improving outcomes and reducing the impact of breast cancer on individuals and families worldwide.

At Steiltes Family Practice, we do breast exams as part of our regular checkups. We also have a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine that we use for breast screening.

Early detection is key in the fight against breast cancer, and regular screenings can help catch any abnormalities early on. By prioritising your health and staying proactive with screenings, you are taking an important step in protecting yourself against breast cancer.
