13 Friends for Life: What to look for when you do that monthly breast self-exam

13 Friends for Life is a reminder for you, your friend and family member or loved one to make sure they know their normal and do their monthly self-breast exam.

Many women do not always know what they are looking for while performing a self-breast exam.

Stacey Newmyer, a nurse navigator from the Mercy Health Comprehensive Breast Center in Muskegon, shared some tips on how to correctly perform a breast self-exam and told us what we should be looking for.

As the only centers of their kind in West Michigan, Mercy Health Comprehensive Breast Centers (located in both Grand Rapids and Muskegon) deliver prompt, personal, specialized care for all aspects of breast health. Here, we focus on total breast health — from screening mammograms and lifetime cancer risk analysis to, when necessary, the latest surgical procedures and treatments.
