"I thought of you... and your screening." "Your health matters to me." These simple messages are at the heart of the October Pink campaign, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of breast cancer screening. The city of Vic-en-Bigorre joins this initiative to remind that this cancer, although the most frequent in women, is curable in 9 out of 10 cases when detected early.
It is recalled that a simple call, text message, or card sent to a mother, sister, friend, or partner can make a real difference. This gesture, taking only a few minutes, can have a decisive impact on health.
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women and remains the most common cancer in women. However, detected early, it is curable in 9 out of 10 cases. Screening truly changes things.
The City of Vic-en-Bigorre encourages its residents to spread these essential messages and to take five minutes to contact their loved ones and urge them to check on their health.
