Performing a Breast Self-Exam
Giving yourself a breast self-exam about once a month can be an important part of detecting and treating cancer early on, especially when used in combination with other testing, such as regular mammograms. Breast self-exam is a convenient, no-cost tool that you can use on a regular basis and at any age. While you may know that this is something you should be doing often, you may not be sure what to do. Performing a breast self-exam is simple, with just five steps.

Preventing Breast Cancer
During the month of October, it’s easy to remember that you need to schedule that mammogram you’ve been putting off, but breast health awareness is something we should be thinking about year round. While an annual mammogram and regular breast self-exams are great ways to detect possible breast cancer, they don’t do much to prevent it. However, there are steps you can take to prevent breast cancer, as well as other cancers.
Staying healthy throughout your life will lower your risk of developing cancer, and improve your chances of surviving cancer if it occurs.

Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Vegetables
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, asparagus, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
Step 2: Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and add to the pan along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Serve the shrimp and sauce over the vegetables.
