10.01.2022 Today is Daffodil Day The daffodil ... The daffodil is recognised internationally as the symbol of hope for all people affected by cancer. Cancer Council chose it as our emblem as the bright yellow colouring heralds the return of spring, representing new life and growth. To Cancer Council, and those affected by cancer, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer free future. The Daffodil Day Appeal is Cancer Council’s most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign. It is a day for Australians to come together and donate to help stop cancer. This year, the Daffodil Day Appeal aims to raise more than $2 million for life-saving cancer research, but will look a little different this year. Australians will donate a daffodil to raise funds for life-saving cancer research in August. The Daffodil Day Appeal culminates on Friday 28 August 2020. Sadly, with nearly 150,000 Australians diagnosed with cancer every year, most people have been touched by cancer.

08.01.2022 Self-examination Everyone’s breasts look and feel different. You may have lumpy breasts, one breast larger than the other, breasts that are different shapes, or one or both nipples that are pulled in (inverted), which can be there from birth or happen when the breasts are developing. Become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts. There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts for any changes. Try to get used to looking at and feeling your breasts regularl...y. You can do this in the bath or shower, when you use body lotion, or when you get dressed. Just decide what you are comfortable with and what suits you best. Remember to check all parts of your breast, your armpits and up to your collarbone. When you check your breasts, try to be aware of any changes that are different for you. Know what to look for I felt a lump, is a common phrase for those who have had a breast cancer diagnosis, but there are many others symptoms or warning signs to watch for: - a new lump in your breast or underarm (armpit) - thickening or swelling of part of your breast - irritation or dimpling of your breast skin - redness or flaky skin in your nipple area or your breast - pulling in of your nipple or pain in your nipple area - nipple discharge other than breast milk - any change in the size or the shape of your breast - pain in any area of your breast Don’t delay Most breast changes are not likely to be breast cancer. However, if you find a change in your breast that’s unusual for you, see your doctor without delay. For more information please contact us https://www.platinumhg.com.au/contact
