Perform monthly self breast exams as not all cancers will be detected
by mammography. In fact, about 10 percent of breast cancers are missed by
mammography in older women and about 30 percent in younger women who still have
circulating estrogen and progesterone hormones. Finding a breast lump and
having it assessed properly and treated early may just save your life. Link on breast cancers only found by breast exam. Link on how to perform self breast exam.
