Ø Breast cancer is the most common cancer to affect women.
Ø Every woman is at SOME risk for breast cancer—this is merely the "risk" of living as a woman.
Ø From birth to age 39, one woman in 231 will get breast cancer (<0.5% risk)
Ø age 40–59, the chance is one in 25 (4% risk)
Ø from age 60–79, the chance is one in 15 (nearly 7%).
Ø Assuming you live to age 90, the chance of getting breast cancer over the course of an entire lifetime is one in 8, with an overall lifetime risk of 12.5%.
Self examine
Step 1.
Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Here's what you should look for:
Ø Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color.
Ø Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling.
If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your doctor's attention:
Ø Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin.
Ø A nipple that has changed position or become inverted (pushed inward instead of sticking out).
Ø Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling.
Step 2&3
Ø Raise your arms and look for the same changes.
Ø While you're at the mirror, gently squeeze each nipple between your finger and thumb and check for nipple discharge (this could be a milky or yellow fluid or blood).
Step 4
Ø Feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few fingers of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together.
Ø Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side—from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.
Step 5
Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in Step 4.
Save Your Life!!
Ø Stop drinking alcohol or limit consumption to no more than two alcoholic drinks per week (cutting down on alcohol increases your liver's ability to regulate blood estrogen levels).
Ø Restrict red meat and other sources of animal fat (this includes dairy fat in cheese, milk, and ice cream), as they may contain stored hormones or pesticides.
Ø Avoid taking estrogen product if had breast cancer before.
