"We will teach our daughters about the importance of taking care of their teeth, their eyes and their figure.  Why Don't we teach our daughters about breast health?"

A letter written by a breast cancer survivor.

The FDA has recently approved the Aware BSE kit as an aid in Breast Self Examination.  We believe this kit will help make it much easier to conduct BSE each month.  It is designed to arm you with the facts, and therefore, remove the fear.  The kit also comes with easy illustrations, which will give you the confidence to do it right.  Today we know that the best chance of curing cancer is to detect it early.  

THE BREAST SELF EXAMINATION KIT CONTAINS:
  • The Aware™ Pad - which makes breast self-exam easy and convenient to do.  This unique pad increases your sense of touch by reducing friction between your fingers and breast. You will be amazed by how sensitive your fingers will now become. The Pad consists of two plastic sheets with liquid sealed in between and works in the same manner as soap and water, but it is not necessary to be in the shower.  The Aware™ Pad clings lightly to your skin.   When you place your fingers on the Aware™ Pad and press firmly against the Aware™ Pad, your fingers will glide smoothly across your breast. 
  • Breast Self Examination Video - Simple and quick video which makes  BSE easy and gives you the confidence to do it correctly.   This unique video gives you step by step instruction on how to conduct BSE Properly.  It takes less than 5 minutes to watch and you will be comfortable in doing this yourself.
  • Helpful resources of organizations to call if you need additional  information including:  a reminder card for monthly BSE, mammogram and clinical breast exams. - In addition to the pad and video, there is also an easy to follow instruction guide (if you prefer to the video).  There is also additional materials and resources to support you.
