GOOD MORNING ALTON HIGH,
HERE ARE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THURSDAY OCTOBER 12, 2023
(Introduce yourself)
OCTOBER IS BREAST AWARENESS MONTH
MYTHS
Myth: Breast pain is a definite sign of breast cancer
Interestingly, breast pain is usually not a sign of breast cancer. In fact, one surgeon estimates that only about 1 percent of women will be diagnosed with cancer after feeling pain in their breast
Myth: Carrying a phone in your bra can cause breast cancer
While carrying your cell phone in your bra may not be the most comfortable choice, it does not cause breast cancer. Studies on mobile phone signals have shown no link between phone use and cancer
Myth: Finding a lump in your breast means you have breast cancer
Only a small percentage of breast lumps turn out to be cancer. But if you discover a persistent lump in your breast that is new or notice any changes in breast tissue, it should never be ignored.
