BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IS HERE!

So October is Breast Cancer Awareness month...which is great but we should not limit this awareness to only one month...so If you are a female please remember to do your self breast checks often....it's very easy and it's VERY neccessary no matter your age race or anything else you think that will make you not get it...Breast Cancer has no face it will attack anyone at any time...You don't even have to have it run in your family for many women who get Breast Cancer they are the first one in their family to get it...so if you think that because no one has had it (which by the way it could be far in your family chain) that means you can't get it, think again!

Here is how I do my self breast test...it's easiest to remember to do it in the shower so what I do is I just raise my arm and rub under my arm pit alll around my breast and under my breast leaving no place untouched...and what I do is I rub really hard because what you want to feel for is a bump or anything that feels abnormal...you will feel some little tiny bumps which as far as I know normal...but if you feel something hard and like a ball or anything that you think may be abnormal you should make a doctor appointment or you could ask you mother sister grandmother or any other female you trust to feel if you can't explain exactly what you felt...doing these test is very important and should not be something you are embarrassed about...you should speak to all the women in your life about doing their own test because a lot of the women who find out they have breast cancer find out because of the self test they did which ends up saving their lives because they found it early....so if you do feel something that scares you or feels weird or hurts when you touch it tell an adult and go see a doctor...encourage someone to do their test today...save a life!
