Squeeze Day – self-examination
Every month should have a Squeeze Day. Which one will be yours?
Here’s how to examine your breasts:

2. Feel your breasts for lumps or other hardenings and check if the breast feels the same firmness. Examine the breast with the opposite hand. Use straight fingers and feel the breast with small circular motions.
3. Do the nipples look as usual? Finally, check the armpit.

4. Also examine your breasts while lying down with one hand under your head.

Squeeze Day is published by the Breast Cancer Association with support from Novartis, Roche, Amgen, and Pfizer. |
