Breast Cancer Awareness Month: "A lack of awareness about breast cancer and failure to detect it at the earliest is one of the reasons for high mortality in breast cancer patients,"
To help increase your breast awareness, you use your eyes and hands to determine if there are any changes to the look and feel of your breasts.
