October is Breast Cancer Awareness month 💕
Please remind the women in your life to do monthly self breast exams, and schedule any mammograms as recommended by their medical provider. Early detection is key!! Men can also get breast cancer, too (though it isn't as high of a chance).
You can even help with the exam 😉 Remember to include the area up towards the armpit as lumps can be found there and people often miss that in their exams.
Remember to use your eyes in the exam as well- it isn't just feeling for lumps. Have her stand up front of the mirror and raise her arms above her head, up and down. Watch for differences in movement between each side, and any puckering or dimpling of skin.
There are plenty of videos online on how to do an exam, but it's super important 💕
