Honoring Mothers and Raising Awareness
DEEP Trust’s Mother’s Day Breast Cancer Awareness Camp in Hyderabad
Mother’s Day is more than just a celebration of love and care. It is also an opportunity to prioritize the health and well-being of the women who nurture us every day. On May 11th, 2025, DEEP Trust, in collaboration with its implementing partner Ashrita NGO Home, organized a special Breast Cancer Awareness Camp in Hyderabad. This impactful event took place at Rainbow Homes in Mudfort, Gunfoundry, Secunderabad, from 9 AM to 12 PM.
This awareness initiative focused on women’s health education in Hyderabad, highlighting the importance of early breast cancer detection and screening.
Why This Awareness Camp Matters
This camp is important because it helps women learn about breast cancer and how to protect their health. Many women do not know the early signs or the benefits of regular screening. By providing this information, the camp encourages women to take care of themselves and seek medical advice when needed. Early detection can save lives, and spreading awareness is the first step towards a healthier community.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the breast grow uncontrollably. It usually starts in the milk ducts or glands. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, but it can also affect men.
Early detection is very important because finding breast cancer early makes treatment easier and more effective. Women should be aware of changes in their breasts, such as lumps, changes in size or shape, skin dimpling, or nipple changes.
Regular check-ups, breast self-exams, and screenings like mammograms help detect breast cancer early. Treatments can include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, depending on the stage and type of cancer.
Knowing the basics about breast cancer helps in taking timely action and protecting your health.
Common Symptoms of Breast Cancer
Being informed about early signs of breast cancer can save lives. Symptoms may include:
- A lump or mass in the breast or underarm
- Skin dimpling or irritation
- Changes in breast shape or size
- Nipple discharge or inversion
- Unexplained breast pain
Dispelling Common Myths About Breast Cancer
By busting myths, we promote evidence-based awareness:
- Not all breast lumps are cancerous
- Mammograms are safe and necessary
- Family history is just one of many risk factors

Programs like DEEP Trust’s awareness camps in urban Hyderabad communities help correct misinformation.
