Every woman is at risk for breast cancer. The risk of developing breast cancer
increases as a woman ages, if she has a family history of breast cancer, has never
had children or had her first child after age 30. Breast cancer cannot be prevented,
but it can be detected at an early, treatable stage.
While the most common warning sign of breast cancer is a lump or thickening
of the breast, you might not be able to feel a lump until it has grown bigger.
Our breast self-exam pad is a medical device, which consists of two plastic
sheets with liquid sealed in between. It is intended to be used as an aid for
performing breast self-examination. It reduces friction between your fingers
and breast, and may provide for an easier and more comfortable exam. It clings
lightly to your skin and when you place your fingers on the pad and press firmly
against it, your fingers will glide smoothly across your breast.
By examining your breasts regularly, you will become familiar with what is
normal for your body. By becoming familiar with what is normal, you will also
be able to recognize changes promptly. Any change should be brought to the attention
of your doctor. It is also very important that you have regular clinical exams
and mammograms as advised by your doctor.
More than 1.6 million women who have had breast cancer are alive in America
today. Many of these women are many years past their treatment. Most are living
full lives, raising their families, and even starting families. More than 9
out of 10 women who discover and treat their breast cancer early are cancer
free five years later. If a woman finds her breast cancer early, it is often
possible to remove just the lump, rather than the entire breast. Early detection
could save your breast and your life.
