A guide on how to check your breasts from Breast Cancer Care
There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts. Try to get used to looking at and feeling your breasts regularly. You can do this in the bath or shower, when you use body lotion, or when you get dressed. There’s really no need to change your everyday routine. Just decide what you are comfortable with and what suits you best.
Remember to check all parts of your breast, your armpits and up to your collarbone.
Anyone with breast cancer or breast health concerns can get free, confidential support and information from the Breast Cancer Care helpline on 0808 800 6000, open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-2pm.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease. Pink ribbons aren’t the only pink products being sold during Cancer of the breast Recognition Month. However, Mike’s Hard Lemonade may not be welcome. Based on USA Today, Mike’s Hard Pink Lemonade is accessible for sale. Mike’s is giving some of the cash to breast cancer research. Yet calls of hypocrisy are in the air. Both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have made it clear in their literature that even moderate consumption of alcoholic drinks can contribute to the development of breast cancer.
