Millie Mackintosh, a former reality TV star, has used her platform to raise awareness for breast health and early detection. In a recent social media post, she posed with a sign covering her assets, reading "Look at your boobs!" The post was captioned "This October, alongside the incredible teams at @pinkribbonfoundation and @women_in_art, I'm so proud to be part of the # LookAtYourBoobs campaign, raising awareness for breast health." According to Millie, her own experience with breast health led her to get involved with the campaign.
She explained that after discovering a lump, she was referred for an ultrasound rather than a mammogram due to her age. Although the results were inconclusive, Millie was eventually required to undergo a biopsy. She noted that during this time, she experienced significant anxiety and angst... despite being aware of statistics suggesting that early detection and family history were not factors that increased her risk.
However, Millie emphasized the importance of early detection, stating that one in 20 lumps is deemed potentially concerning. She encouraged her followers to make breast health a priority, recommending a monthly examination, and cautioned against putting off such checks. Millie also expressed her admiration for various charities working towards awareness and education, particularly CoppaFeel, "whose mission is to focus on educating and empowering young women to know and fight for their bodies." Throughout her post... Millie's tone was modest and reflective, "highlighting the importance of breast health and early detection." Her willingness to share her personal experience and promote awareness serves as a powerful reminder of the significance of this issue.
As she concludes her post, Millie emphasizes the importance of being proactive and encourages her followers to prioritize their health.
