Hello everyone,

How are you doing today? 😊

Self-examination remains an essential tool for early detection of breast cancer, enabling women to actively monitor their breast health. According to the Cancer Research Institute, early detection leads to a 98% survival rate (five years and more).

How was your diagnosis process? Did you experience any signs? Did you practice self-examination? Do you know how to do it? And when should you do it?

Feel free to comment below! 👇

Have a wonderful day,

Somya from the Carenity team

Hi everyone,

How are you doing today?

I think this post was missed! I will tag a few people who may want to share their experiences about self examination.

@LizziB my breast cancer wasn’t found with a self exam. I had a mammogram and then a sonogram.

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
