Breast Cancer Awareness

Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization recommends that women begin annual mammography screening at age 40. Women under 40 with either a family history of breast cancer or other concerns about their personal risk should consult a medical professional about when to begin mammography. See your medical professional on a regular basis. A clinical breast examination should be part of your routine checkup. Beginning at age 20 women should have a clinical breast exam every two to three years. Women age 40 and older should have one every year. Perform breast self-examination once a month. If you find something that you know is unusual for you, have a doctor check it out. A LUMP YOU FIND SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED.

Early Detection Saves Lives. The statistics on breast Cancer are staggering. . . in North America, a woman is diagnosed every three minutes. Does every woman perform a SBE on a regular basis?
