The Importance Of Being Breast Aware
This vital information will help you identify what is normal or irregular for you so that you can spot any changes at the earliest possible time. It is more common in those over 50, but it can affect younger women and men as well.
The sooner you notice a change, the better because if cancer is found early, treatment is more likely to be successful. It is best to get into the habit of checking your breasts regularly - read our guide here. This will help you notice any changes that may occour. Read more about breast health awareness here.
