October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 6, 2020

Don’t forget to check yourself this month!

35 years ago, Breast Cancer Awareness Month was created as a dedication to the ongoing fight so many women face every single day. 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point during their lifetime, but no one has to fight alone — our certified specialists are here to support you while you or a loved one is healing and answer any questions you may have about breast health post-surgery. Early detection is the best protection, so don’t forget to check yourself today!

Some things to look for:

  • Changes in skin texture (dimpling, puckering)
  • Any lumps, bumps, or thickening on the breast
  • Unusual nipple discharge
  • Nipple inversion or change of direction
  • Swelling in or around your armpit and/or collar bone
  • Any constant pain in your breast or armpit
  • Sudden changes in shape or size
  • Redness, rashes, or crusting of the nipple or surrounding area

Make sure you check all the way up to your collarbone and in your armpits, both while laying down and standing up. It’s important to do a breast self-examination at least once a month, and if in doubt, see your doctor and get checked out.

Chantelle Life Panty

March 20, 2023
