Muslimahs, check your breasts often! Do not wait until your annual checkups to be told that there could be concern.
The best way to find breast lumps is to do 3 things:
Schedule annual/frequent mammograms with your Physician, keeping in mind that starting at age 40 approx. you will need to increase from 1-2 examinations.
Self examinations are very important as it is our bodies and we need to take control and stay/remain aware of what could be happening from within.
Speak to your relatives to obtain family history in regards to this disease and create a list to bring to your next Doctors appointment.
Doing all of these things gives you the best chance to find cancer as early as you can/possible. Finding breast cancer early makes treatment much easier and more effective insha’Allah.
