Below is an infographic published in The Star paper on Christmas eve of 2017. Thought that this information would be very useful for all of us for early detection of possible breast cancer.

Here are three simple steps:

Step 1: Lift
Step 2: Glide
Step 3: Feel

Daily breast self-check in the shower helps you to detect early warning signs of breast abnormality. Seek immediate medical consultation if you detect any unusual signs.

Consult a doctor immediately once you notice the signs above.
