Breast Cancer Self Examination Guide with Dr Tasha

You probably know that you should be checking your breasts regularly, but you probably don't know exactly how to do this properly so that you don't miss anything and that you also don't hurt yourself.

In today's video I am sharing the 2 part process of how to check yourself, as well as step by step what to do and what to look for.

Breast cancer can be a scary time with so many things happening around you about you.

Trying to cope with a breast cancer diagnosis or looking for support through your treatment and beyond?

I can provide you with trusted and easy to understand information, compassionate support and rapid diagnosis, all from a trusted Breast Health Specialist.

WORRIED ABOUT A BREAST LUMP OR SYMPTOM?
FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED BY CONFLICTING INFORMATION?
TRYING TO NAVIGATE LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN?

Breast health has become an important topic for both women and men. But with a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information out there, it can be hard to find the advice, support and care that you need.

My Breast My Health was created to make understanding breast health easy. Whether you’re looking to learn how to keep your breasts healthy, concerned about new symptoms or learning to live post-diagnosis, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I'm Dr TASHA

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

Many people think that as a Breast Specialist Surgeon, I just do surgery. But that’s far from the truth. In fact, the majority of my patients don’t need any treatment at all – just advice and support.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find on My Breast My Health, welcome to my YouTube Channel.

Thank you Dr Tasha, I had so much anxiety about my breasts because I used to always do this wrong (with the ends of my fingers) because no one had ever taught me and then I'd think that my glands are cancer. Your videos have helped alot. Thank you for teaching us how to do this properly, this should be taught in school

It's good to check every single time you shower, breast cancer is horrible and I wish all kinds of cancer could be done away with.

Thank you for this video. My mom has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and our doctor has told me and my sisters to be more cautious and check ourselves more often as we may be more at risk of also getting breast cancer later in life. I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. This helped a lot!

I found a bump (lump) on the top part near nipple of right chest side yesterday. Been sick for 3 days now today when I woke up my right arm around shoulder area is hurting and under that arm seems to be swollen up a bit (I had a bug bite me under that arm at least a year ago it never went away all of a sudden it's flat for first time since it happened). Part of my thinking is saying of no it's just a pimple while another is saying ok this isn't good signs nows not the time to just push through it. Does none cancerous bumps (lumps) spread like that or is this a sign that it is cancerous? I've been trying to see a doctor since yesterday I don't drive so been working around with 3 people trying to figure it out only just got the name of the place to call about appointment.
