On the 8th of each month, Eyewitness News will also help you remember to perform your breast exam, plus remind you to remind your buddy to perform hers as well. We call the program Buddy Check because you are encouraged to find a buddy: your mother, sister, best friend, or even husband. It's a way to remind each other every month that this self-exam can save your life!
Breast Cancer is curable if it is caught early enough. Regular self-exams, clinical breast exams by your doctor, and mammograms are your best defense. Consult your doctor on how often you should have a mammogram.

Here's to your good health!
