Help me take a stand for breast and ovarian cancer

Breast cancer often forms a lump or mass. It can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. Symptoms may include a lump, changes in breast size or shape, or unusual pain.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. According to the World Health Organisation, approximately 2.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. It's important to note that men can also get breast cancer, but it is much rarer. The incidence of breast cancer can vary based on factors like age, genetics, lifestyle, and geography.

Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries, where eggs are produced. It can be harder to detect early, as symptoms often resemble other conditions. Symptoms may include bloating, pelvic pain, or changes in appetite. Both cancers require early detection and treatment for better outcomes.

According to the World Health Organisation, approximately 300,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year worldwide. It is most commonly diagnosed in women over 50, though it can affect women of all ages. Early detection is challenging, which is why it often gets diagnosed at later stages.
