Breast self-exams should be performed monthly, either one week after a woman's period ends or on the same day each month for those with irregular periods or no periods. Patients should see their doctor if they find a lump, and the doctor may recommend a radiology exam, consultation with a breast specialist, or follow-up checks. A breast cancer awareness seminar will be held on October 30th to discuss medical advancements, self-exams, and local resources.
