Breast Cancer Awareness Month: How to be Breast Aware
This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among British women, and the earlier it is detected, the better the chances of successful treatment. That’s why it’s so important to be breast aware.

Being breast aware means:
Knowing what your breasts look and feel like normally.
Watching out for any unusual changes.
Getting any changes checked by your doctor promptly.
