Breast Cancer Awareness Month
ORANJESTAD – During October, the world stands still to raise awareness about breast cancer.
As the first week of the awareness month has passed, it is crucial to continue emphasizing the importance of raising awareness within our community. Breast cancer is a reality that affects many people and families on our island. It is a reason to increase awareness and foster compassion and understanding among each other.
Breast cancer touches the lives of many citizens. Whether it’s a diagnosis of a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, or yourself, each story is unique. But each one reminds us of the importance of our health. This month is undoubtedly a time when we reflect more deeply on this subject.
It is crucial to take proactive steps early. Early detection is essential to overcoming this disease. Living and eating healthy is an important step. Examine your breasts regularly. Have the courage and take the time to get a mammogram.
Educate yourself about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and share this information with those around you. This way, we empower ourselves and those close to us to take control. We can inspire change and create an awareness impact within our community.
“During this awareness month, let us remember those who have lost the battle to breast cancer. Let their story inspire us to care, support, and be strong in raising awareness. Together, we are stronger: raise awareness, support, and see change,” expressed the Prime Minister.
