Time to check your breasts
We all know we should examine our breasts regularly. But why? The reason is simple – picking up any changes as early as possible for an earlier diagnosis means earlier treatment and a better outcome. In fact, according to Cancer Research UK, breast cancer detected and treated at stage one, the earliest stage, has a 98% five-year survival rate.
It is recommended that you check your breasts/chest area once each month, whether you are male or female – although breast cancer is more unusual in males, it can occur!
