Irish Cancer Society Urges Women In Cork To Be Breast Aware This October Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The Irish Cancer Soci-
ety is calling on all women in Cork to become aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer during breast cancer awareness month this October. The five year survival rate for breast
cancer patients
in Ireland is currently at 85% and the Society says early detection of the dis- ease is a key factor in this. Early detection great-
ly increases the chances for successful treatment and according to Nation- al
Ireland (NCRI) statistics most
Cancer Registry breast
cancers in
Ireland are detected at an early
per cent of invasive breast cancers are diagnosed at
stage. Over 40 of
Stage two, while over 30 per cent are diagnosed at Stage one. Breast
cancer is the
most common form of invasive cancer affecting women in
Ireland. The
vast majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer are aged 50 to 64 (41 per cent), but younger women are also affected, with 23 per cent of diag- noses occurring in women under 50. The Society is urging
all women in Cork to be aware
signs and symptoms of breast cancer: • A change in size or
shape such as one breast becoming larger than the other
of the following • A change in the skin
such as puckering or dim- pling (like orange peel) or redness • A change in the direc-
tion or shape of your nip- ple, especially if it sinks into your breast or be- comes irregular in shape • An unusual discharge
(liquid) from one or both of your nipples • A change on or
around the nipple such as a rash or flaky or crusted skin • Swelling in your arm-
pit or around your collar- bone • A lump or thickening
in your breast • Constant pain in one of your breast
part armpit or Naomi Fitzgibbon,
Cancer Nurseline Man- ager, Irish Cancer Society said, “It is important that every woman is breast aware. This means know- ing what is normal for you so that if any unusual change occurs, you will recognise it. The sooner you notice a change the better, because if cancer is found early, treatment is more likely to be suc- cessful. Get into the habit of looking at and feeling your breasts regularly, a good time to do this is in the shower or bath. If you notice something abnormal for you talk to your doctor without delay. Remember most chang- es won’t
turn out to be
breast cancer. But if they are, the sooner this is di- agnosed the more effec- tive treatment will be.” There are also a num-
ber of ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer, including being a healthy weight, being active for 30 minutes a day at least five days a week, limiting alcohol intake, breast- feeding your baby, not smoking and by attending Breastcheck when called. All women aged 50 to 69 are invited to have a free mammogram every two years, see

check.ie for more info. To speak to a Cancer

cancer contact the Cancer Nurseline on
Freephone 1800 200 700, email cancernurseline@
