Knowing the facts about Breast and Ovarian Cancer can help stop it in its tracks. Test your knowledge below:

Did you know that women aged over 40 are eligible for free mammograms?

In order to detect breast cancer early, it is recommended that all women between 50 – 74 years attend regular screening mammograms every two years. These are also offered for free by Breast Screen Australia. Women aged 40-49 and 75 years and older are also eligible for free mammograms.

Do you know that men can also get breast cancer?

Men, if you notice any new and unusual changes in your breasts it is important to see your doctor without delay, so that the changes can be checked by a health professional.

Do you know what the symptoms of ovarian cancer are?

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are so vague. For many women, the only signs are cramps, bloating, feeling full or needing to urinate more often – all symptoms which mimic common female complaints.

Do you know there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer?

Invasive surgery is currently the only way of detecting and accurately diagnosing ovarian cancer.

Do you know what normal feels like?

Breast awareness is being familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts, so that you can identify any unusual changes (such as a new lump, thickening in the breasts, especially if it is only in one breast, changes to the shape or size of the breast or changes to the shape of the nipple). Take the time to get to know how your breasts normally look and feel.

Do you know your breast cancer risk?

If you have a strong family history or you are concerned that you may have increased risk of breast cancer, talk to your GP or local family cancer clinic. Your doctor can help you assess and manage your breast cancer risk and will advise of any additional precautions or screening you may require.
