October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer, supporting those affected, and advocating for early detection. At The Little Bra Company, we believe in empowering our community with knowledge and resources to help fight this disease. Being informed about the symptoms of breast cancer can save lives. Knowing what to look for can help you or someone you know detect potential signs early. Here are five reason for you to take you self-examination today:
- It doesn’t hurt
- It’s free.
- It’s easy.
- It’s fast.
- It can save your life.
Here’s how to take your self-examination:
- Use the pads of your fingers. Use the pads, not the very tips, of your three middle fingers for the exam.
- Using varying pressure and taking your time, message your fingers over your breasts in a spiral pattern starting at the nipple.
- Make your way up to the to of your best near the collarbone, the center by your breastbone, and the sides near your armpits.
- Lastly, gently squeeze your nipples to check for discharge.
By taking action, sharing knowledge, and supporting breast cancer research, we can help save lives. Let’s make this October a month of strength, hope, and progress in the fight against breast cancer.
