A reminder.
Make a resolution
to check your breasts.
Around 1 in 8 women will face breast cancer in their lifetime.
The best outcomes are linked to early diagnosis. While routine medical screenings are important, most women first notice changes themselves. That’s why it’s so essential to know your breasts and become familiar with how they look and feel. So take a few minutes each month to check in and see if anything feels different. Most changes won’t be cancer, but if they are, early detection can make all the difference.

Guidelines for Breast
Self-Examination
IT’S IMPORTANT TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR OWN BREASTS SO
THAT YOU CAN DETECT ANY CHANGES IN HOW THEY LOOK OR FEEL.
Start your visual check. Stand in front of a mirror and carefully examine your breasts for any changes in size, shape, or skin appearance.
Next, use your hands to feel. Raise your arm and use your opposite hand to feel your breast. Keep your fingers together and flat, making small circular motions from the outer edges of your breast toward the nipple.
Cover the entire breast area, then gently pull your nipple forward to check for easy movement or any discomfort. Repeat this process for your other breast.
The best time for a breast self-check is a few days after your period ends, as your breasts are less likely to be naturally tender or swollen. If you don’t have periods, consider setting a reminder for your self exam on the first day of each month.

Be proactive.
If you notice any unusual changes, lumps,
or abnormalities during your self-check, don’t panic. Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your concerns. Remember that not all lumps or changes indicate cancer, but it’s essential to have them evaluated.
The important thing is that you regularly examine your breasts and become familiar with them, so that you can detect any changes and improve your chances of early detection. It’s quick, easy and could save your life.
When breast cancer is found early,
the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
