October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection can prove to be lifesaving when it comes to detecting and fighting breast cancer. There are four important steps that play a crucial part in finding breast cancer early, which could significantly increase one’s chances of recovery. They include 1) perform a monthly breast self-exam (BSE), 2) have regular breast exams by a medical provider, 3) have a screening mammogram regularly and 4) be alert for possible symptoms.
