October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Dr. Susan Godman at Partners in Health Care, Naturally has a simple but powerful reminder.
The most important screening tool you have is your own hands.
Research shows that a significant number of breast changes are first noticed by patients themselves during self-examination. Getting familiar with your own tissue means you are far more likely to notice when something feels different. Dr. Godman suggests doing it monthly, on the new moon as a consistent and meaningful anchor, and thinking of it as a loving act of care for yourself rather than something to dread.
If you notice any changes, let your provider know right away.
Know your body. Trust it. And take care of it.
