What advice can you give others about breast cancer awareness?
 There is some evidence that breast feeding may help to prevent breast cancer. Jeremy Hutton Physical Therapist DDEAMC  My wife Barbara has breast cancer. She exercises regularly; breast fed our children, eats organic foods and never smoked. There's no profile for breast cancer. She discovered a lump while performing a self-exam. I recommend individuals get tested regularly. Andrew King Chiropractor DDEAMC  It's important to do monthly self-examinations and get regularly scheduled mammograms. Elizabeth Knight Physical Therapy Administrator DDEAMC  Many African Americans don't visit doctors on a regular basis. That's why it's very important to get an annual breast exam. Trinita Hall Physical Therapy Assistant DDEAMC  I encourage both men and women to get annual breast exams. Paul Reeves Staff member in the Information Department DDEAMC  I recommend individuals get regular breast exams at their gynecologist. Examining yourself while in the shower and again in front of a mirror at home can help aid in early detection of breast cancer. 1st Lt. Ashley Fox Physical Therapist DDEAMC |
