Have you done your Cheeky Check-up?

National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre has developed a campaign encouraging young women to develop good breast awareness habits for life.
“Having a Cheeky Check-Up really is as simple as getting to know the normal look and feel of your breasts as part of everyday life and reporting any unusual changes to your doctor”. Dr Helen Zorbas, CEO, National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre.
There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts. There’s no special technique and you don’t need any training. You can check your breasts wherever and whenever works for you. You could even give them a Cheeky Check-Up right now.
