Early Detection
Know thy breasts
Did you know that most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes in their breasts and then taking the initiative to visit their doctor?
We love a good, chill attitude in life, but there’s never a good reason to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to your health. We may not know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it, but we do know that if it’s found early you have more treatment options and a better chance of beating it.
Early detection starts with being Breast Aware, which simply means knowing your breasts. Make it a regular habit to check them out – touch them, look at them, feel around. If you find anything unusual, report it to your doctor.
