Did you know that 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in their lifetime? On average, every three minutes a woman in the US is diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes a woman loses her life to breast cancer. These statistics are mind-blowing and early detection can make all the difference… you don’t have to wait until 40 to get mammograms! Over 250,000 women under 40 live with breast cancer and at least 11,000 more young women will be diagnosed just this year. A tough pill to swallow, right?
YOU HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE! Self-breast examinations are such an important part in taking charge of your own breast health. While not a solely reliable preventative measure, listening to and staying in tune with your body can put you ahead of the game. Seven years ago, Colleen Rothschild performed a self-breast exam and found something out of place leading her to create this incredible “breast friend self-exam butter.” Using rich butters and nourishing oils to provide the ideal slip-and-slide feel across the skin, it can help you to detect unusual lumps and bumps during a self-examination. And now through May 11th, it’s $24; making the perfect gift for mamas, mothers, and friends for Mother’s Day.
