October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month across the globe, a time to highlight the impact of breast cancer on individuals and our community. As the most common cancer among Australian women (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer), breast cancer affects many, but there is hope. With continued advancements, 89% of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer now survive five years or more after their diagnosis.

Although the month of October is nearly finished take a moment to learn about breast health and share this vital information with your loved ones, friends, and colleagues. Raising awareness can make a real difference.
