Blessing Health System issued the following announcement on Jan. 24.
Over the years, there has been some debate over whether breast self-exams help detect cancer early and increase the chance of survival. So, why should you still do breast self-exams and what do you look for when you do?
Our breast cancer nurse navigator teaches the breast self-exam classes at the Blessing Breast Center. We use the MammaCare Method® of breast self-examination.
During the breast self-exam class, you will get a chance to practice on lifelike breast models. You’ll learn the difference between the texture of normal tissue and that of lumps. The goal is to help you become familiar with your breasts so that you can promptly report changes to your healthcare provider. To learn when the next class is, register, or to set up a class for your group of 5 to 10 women, call us at (217) 223-8400, ext. 4284.
