What to do to aid in early detection:
The first and easiest of things
every one can do is monthly self-examinations.
Have a profession breast
examination every 3 years from the time you are 20 years of age.
If you are a
woman age 40 and over have a mammogram every 1-2 years.
Symptoms
of Breast Cancer:
A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the
underarm area
A change in the size or shape of the breast
Nipple
discharge or tenderness, or the nipple pulled back (inversion) into the breast
Ridges or pitting of the breast (the skin looks like the skin of an orange
A change in the way the skin of the breast, areola, or nipple looks or feels
(for example, warm, swollen, red, or scaly).
Remember
you know your body better then anyone else.
Checking it regularly is the best way to find a problem.
You can also ask your partner to assist in these checks.
If a symptom should appear don't hesitate to get it
checked out by a professional. It is better to get
it checked out and have it be a false alarm then to
ignore the issue and have it become far worse. The
earlier the detection the more likely you are to have a
success rate.
