	OK, for many people, it's a subject they'd rather avoid thinking about. But it's important that you do. Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes, taking the initiative and visiting their doctor. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chance of beating it – so you can see how important it is to make regular checks. Being breast aware simply means knowing what your breasts look and feel like normally, being on the lookout for any unusual changes and getting them checked out by your doctor.		TOUCH LOOK CHECK your breasts. Can you feel for anything unusual? for changes. Is there any change in shape or texture? anything unusual with your doctor. No one knows your body better than you and everyone will have their own way of touching and looking for changes – there's no special technique and you don't need any training. The important thing is to be familiar with how your breasts look and feel normally, so you notice anything unusual – and remember to check the whole breast area, including your upper chest and armpits.
