Breast cancer awareness=prevention

Being aware when it comes to breast cancer prevention is the first step to keeping yourself healthy.  For Women with a normal risk of breast cancer, it is recommended that the following guidelines are followed: 

Ages 20-39: A breast exam with a doctor every 1-3 years and self examination is always encouraged.

Ages 40 & over:  Annual exam with doctor and screening mammography.

Ages 65-70:  Some people believe that mammography's are not necessary after the ages of 65-70 but several cancer societies do recommend that women of these age groups continue screens.

Self examination is crucial as many women or their spouses are first to find a lump and self exams allow the individual to monitor their body for skin changes, discharge from the nipple and areas of pain or tenderness.
