    I don’t really have anything of my own to add. The studies are there (thanks, @stopforgettingit@lemmy.world!) for anyone interested in reading up. I just wanted to say that every person with breasts should do regular self-checks. Breast cancer is no joke and it’s a real tragedy.
    Fuck, I should really learn how to do them…

      RIP to my right boob for sure.

      But yes, I agree you should learn how to do a self check and also do about once a month in the shower. About half of the women in my support group found their cancer from self exams.

      Its pretty quick less than a min for both, you raise one arm then starting at the nipple you will press fingers in to the breast. Then press the tissue in about 1 inch apart spacing and move in a circular direction around the nipple and increasing the circles outward to the armpit. Make sure you get all the way in to your armpit too.

      You are looking for anything that feels texturally different, it could be a divet or indent or it could be a lump or bump. In my case it was wide and flat and just a bit harder than the tissue around it and it was on the far right side of my right breast, almost under the armpit.
