Check your boobies ( . ) ( . ) / ( • ) ( • )

First day of the month ladies and gents!!

Have you checked your breasts today?

Checking your breasts frequently will detect early signs of breast cancer.

I felt my lump a little bit too late, and when I found it was a bit too big to just be removed. Me and M feel guilty about it almost every day because we didn't feel it early. So ladies and gents please get those bras off and get checking the boobies!
Do it in the shower, after the shower, before bed, in the middle of the day, doesn't really matter, just make it a habit at least once a month.

I'm attaching some images to show how easy it is - only takes a few seconds of your day - and the things you should look for.

1. First of all put your arm up on the side of the breast that your checking to make the surface as flat and stretched as possible.
2. Use the tips of the 3 bigger fingers together to cover enough area for the exam. You have to do a certain amount of pressure - so just you feel the fatty tissue underneath your skin (about 1-2 cm deep).
3. Mimic the movements as shown on the picture below.

4. Look for signs of:
(Caroço, mamilo invertido, depressão ou covinhas na pele, secreções no mamilo, vermelhidão, mudanças na pele)

Don't leave it till tomorrow. Tomorrow is one day too late.
