An adult Black woman gently checking her breast as part of breast self-awareness — Know your body. Notice changes. Seek care.

01 / BREAST SELF-AWARENESS

Get familiar with what’s normal for you.

There is no single “right” way for breasts to look or feel. Notice changes that are new for you and share concerns with a healthcare professional.

Look

Notice changes in size, shape, skin, or nipple appearance in a mirror if comfortable.

Feel

Become familiar with your breasts during everyday activities or in whatever way works for your body.

Notice changes

Pay attention to a new lump, thickening, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or a change that persists.

Reach out

Contact a healthcare professional about a new or concerning change. Do not wait for pain to appear.

Remember: This guide is for awareness, not a diagnostic self-exam. A normal-feeling breast does not rule out a problem, and a lump does not automatically mean cancer.

02 / OPEN-WEIGHT AI

A care navigator that helps you prepare.

Ask for help preparing questions for a clinician, describing a change clearly, or planning your next call. The AI runs in your browser after its model downloads.

Welcome, sister.

I can help you prepare for a conversation with a healthcare professional. I cannot tell you what a lump is or decide whether it is cancer. If you have noticed a new lump or breast change, please arrange a professional evaluation promptly.

04 / MAKE THE CALL

Words you can use.

You do not need to know what the change means to ask for care.

“Hello, I’ve noticed a new change in my breast and would like to schedule an evaluation. Can you tell me the soonest available appointment? Do you offer help if I’m uninsured or worried about cost?”
