Use three fingers of the opposite hand, gently press and feel the breast, start at the nipple circle outward feeling for any lumps. Repeat the process on your other breast. If you'd like more instruction, or need help learning, contact your physician or the Women's Cancer Center at Lutheran Hospital. You should establish a routine for examining your breasts every month. Most lumps are benign, but you should immediately bring any lump to your doctor's attention.
Early detection is the key to treating breast cancer.
