Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that over 1,000 women in Hawaii are diagnosed with breast cancer annually? It is the second most deadly cancer for women after lung cancer. Death rates are highest for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. Early detection and treatment are key.

Know the warning signs:

- New lump in your breast or armpit
- Any swelling or thickening of your breast
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness or flaky skin on your breast
- Pain or pulling in of your nipple
- Nipple discharge (other than milk!)
- Change in size or shape of your breast
- Pain in any part of your breast

Self-checks and getting to a doctor right away can save your life.

Aloha all Kane ‘Ohana!

Its No-Shave November

Did you know that the Top 3 cancers for men are Lung, Prostate, and Colon? Early detection is key to thriving and surviving:

First colon cancer screens should be at age 45. Are you overdue?

Screen options include stool tests, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and CT colonography.

Blood test for prostate cancer antigens starting at age 55 or if you have symptoms

Talk to your doctor about frequent urination, weak interrupted flow, discomfort urinating, and blood in your urine.

Share a family history of cancer with your doctor.

Koolauloa Health Center is always accepting new patients (with and without insurance).

Call 293-9231 for an appointment.

Hope to see you soon! Mahalo.
