SOMETHING ABOUT BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION
Because many women are afraid of what they might find, or because they don’t think they can get cancer, they may continually postpone doing a breast exam. But it takes less than five minutes to examine your breasts thoroughly. It’s important to check your breasts every month because early lumps and tumors usually cannot be detected just by visual examination. In addition, by the time you notice a lump, it may be too late and the cancer may already have spread to other parts of your body.
When examining your breasts, it will help to ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do I feel a change in the size of one breast, as compared to the other?
2. Do I feel a lump in my breast?
3. Does my partner feel a lump in my breast?
4. Is the lump painful?
5. Is there a discharge from the breast?
6. Has the appearance of the skin of the breast changed?
