Breast cancer remains the leading invasive cancer reported among South African women, with a lifetime risk of approximately 1 in 28.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re keeping the message simple: know your body, prioritise your check-ups and speak to a healthcare professional about screening that is appropriate for you.
A serious diagnosis can also have a financial impact beyond medical bills. Dread disease cover can provide financial support following a qualifying diagnosis, helping you focus on what matters most: recovery.
For support on a breast screening exam in Durban, contact PinkDrive at 060 508 3336 or CANSA The Cancer Association of South Africa at 031 205 9525
ILoveBoobies Charity is also running a challenge this month and every entry funds one free breast-health screening for a woman who would otherwise not have access to early detection.
