MONITOR YOUR MOOBS AND CHECK YOUR BOOBS

Joanna Franks gives candid and straight-forward guidance on what you need to know about breast health. Early detection of a potential health problem is supportive to early resolution and, in many cases, less invasive treatment.

99% of breast cancer cases relate to women, with 19% of cases in the under 50 age-group. However, breast cancer doesn’t only affect women; 1% of cases are found in men. Even though the bias is towards women, this is an all-inclusive talk, as early detection of a health problem is often first noticed by a partner.
