Are You Aware? |
||
|
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women. Figures show that one in eight women will develop breast cancer.. | ||
|
Early Detection is the Key to Successful Treatment and Cure. | ||
|
| ||
|
Three Points to Early Detection: | ||
| Self Breast Exam | ||
| Most breast lumps are found by the patient. Examine them monthly, preferably right after your period when there is less tenderness and fullness. | ||
| Yearly Checkup | ||
| Once a year examinations by a professional healthcare provider aid in early detection. | ||
| Yearly Mammogram | ||
| Studies show that some breast cancers are present for two years before they are large enough to be felt. A mammogram is the best way to diagnose breast cancer as early as possible. | ||
