Screening helps identify #breastcancer early. The earlier the #cancer is found, the better the chances of survival.

Its International Plasma Awareness Week. Hemophilic patients and those with bleeding problems at times need this to have a 2nd breathe. Your donation is the answer to that! Recovered from Covid19 too? Help another one survive with your plasma.

A risk factor is anything that increases your risk of having #breastcancer.

Having one/more risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you'll develop #breastcancer. However, knowing the risk factors is the first step in #prevention and early detection.
