NO BRA DAY,
WHAT SAY YOU??
In a bid to draw awareness to cancer, October 13 was set
aside as no bra day but mixed feelings accompanied the day. A cross section of
women claimed that they can’t do without wearing their bra for a day and
another medium to create the awareness of breast cancer should be employed

The Five Steps of a Breast Self-Exam
Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your
shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.
Here's what you should look for:
If you see any of the following
changes, bring them to your doctor's attention:

|
Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.
Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid
coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow
fluid or blood).
|
|
Step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your
right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your
right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your
hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a circular motion, about the
size of a quarter.
Cover the entire breast from top
to bottom, side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen,
and from your armpit to your cleavage.
Follow a pattern to be sure that
you cover the whole breast. You can begin at the nipple, moving in larger and
larger circles until you reach the outer edge of the breast. You can also
move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, as if you were mowing a
lawn. This up-and-down approach seems to work best for most women. Be sure to
feel all the tissue from the front to the back of your breasts: for the skin
and tissue just beneath, use light pressure; use medium pressure for tissue
in the middle of your breasts; use firm pressure for the deep tissue in the
back. When you've reached the deep tissue, you should be able to feel down to
your ribcage.

Step 5: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or
sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when
their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower.
Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4.
