Hi! Wonderful isn't it that the message is being spread!
A picture like the lemons is more effective than a few words only
Hope you're travelling okay and treatment is/or has been kind
Take care
Its a nice graphic tho i do agree but would not have helped me.
Thinking back to my pre-BC self, I think the issue is broadly, the population is under the impression that a mammogram sees all. They don't know that it's an imperfect tool. They don't know that ILC is not often seen on a mammogram, that breast density masks so much.
The message should be 1) know your breasts through regular self-examination 2) know the warning signs as per the lemons 3) have regular mammograms from 45 4) know your breast density and be given ultrasounds and 3D mammograms accordingly.
Tertiary education places should have posters displayed conveying all this information. And that young women get breast cancer. It is not an older person's disease. It's the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. The ignorance in the general population is scary.
