LauraTWK Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a time to wear pink or dye your hair pink in an attempt to raise people’s awareness of this terrible disease and to promote the need for simple self-checks and to encourage friends and loved ones to do the same. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK with one person being diagnosed every 10 minutes. However, when diagnosed at its earliest stage, 90% of women with breast cancer will survive their disease for five years or more, compared with just 15% when the disease diagnosed at the latest stage. Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer can lead to diagnosing the cancer sooner. This can be crucial in providing more effective treatment and, ultimately, saving lives. Sadly a recent survey found that 33% of women aren’t regularly checking and staggering 20% said it’s because they don’t know how to check their breasts. If you are unsure yourself, learn more about how to self-check at http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/types/self_exam/bse_steps And remember, breast cancer doesn’t always mean a lump… Other less well known symptoms include a nipple becoming inverted or a change in texture of the skin. Again, learn more at http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms. Breast Cancer Now’s Wear It Pink Day is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK. Taking place on Friday 20th October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, thousands of amazing people will wear it pink in their communities, schools or work places for the UK's largest breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now. After the overwhelming amount of support we received last, Think Pink will return for a second year as we show our support for Wear It Pink Day in 3DXChat: When: Friday October 20th Dress code: Wear Pink - Think Pink And bringing you the music will be: 19:00 - 20:00 BST: AHT20:00 - 21:00 BST: LauraTWK21:00 - 22:00 BST: Mulan If you want to show your support, please join us in wearing pink and enjoying a great evening of music.
