I found an absolutely wonderful book as my referance to Breast Cancer.  I would highly recoment it to any one looking for answers about breast cancer.  I do use it myself for quick answers about breast cancer.  "1oo Questions and Answers About Breast Cancer."  I received my copy from the local cancer foundation.  I have to admit it has been a great resounce for me in my business withPlexusPink, the breast health company.  I have found that there is a lot of information out there about breast cancer.  I was really looking for information that had credibility. Sometimes it is hard to know. what is truth.  One of the authors of this book is Harold P. Freeman, MD.  Freeman is the founder and medical director of the Ralph Lauren Center for cancer Care and PreventionIn.  In the past Freeman was national president of America Cancer Society and chairman of the the US President's Cancer Panel.  I have been very impressed with the information covered in this book.  This book is sold through  Amazon books..With this being Cancer awareness month, it would be great to get answers to all the questions you may have.  Enjoy the read.  I know I have.    Valinda Behrens, You Breast friend 321-610-7367 www.Plexuspink.com/75413 ...read more

It is important to detect breast cancer in the earliest stage possible.This includes men and women.  The best way to do that is through monthly breast self -examination.  In order to perform a thorough examination, one must press very firm, and down into the breast tissue.  Therfore the best time to perform a breast examination  would be 5-7 days after the end of the menstrual cycle.  This is when your breast is less tender or sore.   Men on the other hand do not experience the same hormonal changes that women do on a monthly basis. But they do experience changes.  Therefore as a man, you should choose the same day each month to perform their monthly self-examination.  For women who are checking their partners for abnormalities or changes in  the breast tissue, they should also choose again, the same day each month.  That day should be on a routine basis. Men should be aware of the women's cycle.  Therfore,you could  schedule both exams 5-7 days after the women's menstrual cycle.This will make it easy for both to remember. Just know that men do get breast cancer too. It is just as important for as men as for women. So please perform your monthly self-exams as well either on yourself or with your partner.  Remember, "Early detection saves lives!"
