Breast cancer isn't something that suddenly begins to matter at a certain age. The habits we chose in our formative years of our lives and the awareness we build translate into what our health can look like later. Most teenagers won't have an understanding of their family history or what behaviors put them at higher risk of breast cancer. Herscreen wants to deliver you the ability to be able to advocate for yourself as you age, and avoid being at a disadvantage when these conversations become important. It is crucial to understand what the other women in your life experience and struggle with. Many people grow up without ever being taught about these topics. Herscreen exists to make that information accessible earlier, so young women can approach their health with confidence, awareness, and can know how to ask the right questions.

       Even if you’re older, Herscreen is still for you — because understanding your health as a woman does not have an age limit. 

 

Awareness should not begin at the age of screening - it should begin with education girls around the world deserve.
