Looking for disease in a person without symptoms, according to age and level of risk.

What if, this time, we switched on the light?
RJMed’s October campaign is not a succession of isolated messages. It is a journey through what women may feel before, during and after illness — with human language and clear medical landmarks.

Episode 1 · Fear of knowing
The monster under the bed
A lump found in the breast. Weeks of hesitation. A waiting room, glances that seem meaningful, and imagination already writing the whole story. This first episode comes from a lived experience: fear was real, while no diagnosis had yet been made.

Medical landmarks
A few words to find your bearings
These definitions provide a starting point. They do not replace assessment of an individual situation.
Diagnosis
Determining the nature of an abnormality through clinical assessment and, when needed, further tests.
Lump or mass
A sign with several possible causes. It deserves assessment but is not, by itself, a diagnosis.
Mammography
An X-ray examination of the breasts used for screening or to investigate a sign.
Ultrasound
Imaging with sound waves, often used alongside mammography depending on the context.
Biopsy
A sample examined in a laboratory when the nature of an abnormality needs clarification.
The journey continues
The light will be switched on gradually.
Throughout the month, we will address misconceptions, tests, living through care, possibilities after surgery and other people’s gaze. Always with the same intention: to inform without erasing the woman behind the illness.
