The alarm signals of breast cancer: Do you know all 9 of them?
Depending on your age, lifestyle and (family) history, you are more or less likely to get breast cancer. It is advisable to know your own breasts well. Look and feel your breasts regularly. That way you will quickly notice when something has changed. Changes to your breasts can be harmless, but they can also alert you to breast cancer. Therefore, discuss them with your doctor. It is best not to wait too long. Because the earlier breast cancer is discovered, the greater the chance of less invasive treatment and a cure. These nine warning signs everyone should know. Do you already know them?

Pink Ribbon is the Belgian organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer every day.
The non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is the national organization working every day to improve the medical treatment of breast cancer and increase the quality of life of (former) breast cancer patients. Our mission is ready and clear to eliminate the disease and reduce its impact.
To this end, we are setting up several projects in Belgium under 5 pillars:
- Breast cancer awareness
- Prevention
- Early detection of breast cancer
- Psychosocial support for (former) patients and their surroundings
- Research
To finance these projects, we raise funds managed in the bosom of the Pink Ribbon non-profit organization and at the Pink Ribbon Fund, the latter under the auspices of the King Baudouin Foundation.
