1) Remember to GET your Flu Shot; keep yourself
fully hydrated, and try to get some exercise.
2. Watch our excellent series on health care
literacy.
The Cancer Education Series cover breast, lung,
prostate, cervical, colon and uterine cancers.
Through regular self- examinations at the same time
of the month, learn what your breast feels like. Ask
your health care provider to teach you the proper way
to do a thorough breast self-exam.
If a parent was diagnosed with Breast Cancer before
the age of 40, women in that family should start
getting regular mammograms 10 years earlier than the
age of diagnosis; 30 is not too young to have cancer.
Discuss with your personal physician at what age
you should start getting a mammogram.
Fear is NOT the answer.
Be proactive and be informed.
