Our trained HomeHealth Staff has information and videos to assist you with learning the simple skills of Breast self-examination. Breast self-examination is not as reliable as mammography or physical examination of the breasts in finding breast cancer. But, doing it regularly helps you to learn what is normal for your breasts and the you will be able to notice any changes. The need to do BSE becomes more important with age, especially after 40. It should be done each month at the same time, even after menopause. The Canadian Cancer Society has a pamphlet on BSE that you might find helpful. Copies are available at Pharmasave in the HomeHealthcare
section.

Being overweight increases your health risk for many chronic diseases such as type II diabetes, heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. Also breathing difficulties such as asthma and sleep apnea are common. You can make small steps towards maintaining and achieving a healthy
body mass index. To find out your BMI, drop by Home Health Care & soon
