Know your normal
Tips for getting started
- How?
Both look and feel and check all breast tissue. The area that can be affected by breast cancer reaches all the way up to your collarbones, underneath your armpits and your nipples.
- Where?
Use any method you are comfortable with. This may be lying down in bed, standing in front of the mirror or in the shower.
- When?
Get into the habit of checking your [boobs|pecs|chest|breasts] every month. If you get to know what is normal for you, it will be easier to notice any unusual changes.
