The good news is that more women than ever before are surviving a diagnosis of breast cancer thanks to early detection and more effective, safe and tailored treatments.
Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts while showering, dressing or looking in the mirror (this includes you too guys!). It’s never too early to start being breast aware and it’s important to keep up the habit, even if you are having regular mammograms.
