Being 'breast aware'
Whether you are at increased risk of breast cancer or not, your GP should advise you to be 'breast aware'. This means:
-
knowing what is normal for you
-
looking at and feeling your breasts
-
knowing what changes to look for
-
reporting any changes without delay
-
attending routine breast screening depending on your age.
Your GP should also advise you how you might reduce your risk of developing breast cancer.
