The Four Steps to
Breast Self-Awareness
Breast cancer is the most major common cancer in women, but it
can be successfully treated. Breast self-awareness is your best-bet strategy
for helping to ensure your breast health. And this doesn't mean just performing
occasional breast self-exams in the shower — which is a good tool for getting
to know what is normal for you — but you need to know you. Does
breast cancer run in your family? It's a good idea to find out. What screening
tests are appropriate for your age and level of risk? Discuss both with your
doctor and schedule your screenings appropriately.
