YOUR BREAST HEALTH
You, and not just your health care providers, can make a major contribution in maintaining your breast health. By monitoring your breasts as they change throughout your menstrual cycle and over the course of your lifetime, becoming intimately acquainted with them in the same way you're acquainted with the beauty mark on the left side of your nose that you see in the mirror every day, you can play an active role in keeping your breasts healthy and alerting medical experts when you think their health is threatened. Instead of fearing breast problems, take an aggressive approach: decide to head them off in the first place. Many women have, and continue to do so, and have saved their own lives as a result.
monitoring your breast health:
What You Must Do
The three tools that every woman should make regular use of include: (1) a regular physical examination of the breasts by a health practitioner—ideally, once a year; (2) your own monthly breast self-exam (called the BSE); and (3) mammography—the breast X ray that can detect cancerous tumors often long before they can be felt. If you follow all three guidelines properly, some experts say, (that is, keeping track of your doctor appointments, performing the BSE correctly, going to an accredited mammography center) you will end up with a 98% chance of at least a five-year survival if a breast cancer is found (five years is the first major marker for cancer survival: if you can pass that point, your chances are better, but not guaranteed, that you're cured).
