Personal Plan Of Action



The American Cancer Society recommends these guidelines as a personal plan of action against breast cancer:

If you are less than 40 years old
  • Examine your breasts monthly
  • Have a breast exam by your doctor at least every three years
  • Have a baseline mammogram between the ages of 35-39


If you are between 40-49 years old
  • Examine your breasts monthly
  • Have a breast exam by your doctor every year
  • Have a mammogram every year


If you are age 50 and over
  • Examine your breasts monthly
  • Have a breast exam by your doctor every year
  • Have a mammogram every year


Talk with your doctor or other health care provider about your personal plan of action. Be sure to practice self-examination of your breasts every month. If you find a lump, thickening, or other changes,  you should see your doctor without delay.
