At Cherry Blossom Intimates, we love all our girls, and want them to stay healthy and safe. Breast Cancer, although unpreventable, can be detected early by you, or a doctor by checking for abnormal lumps or breast activity. It might save your life or the life of someone you love.
If you’ve had a benign lump in the past, don’t assume a new lump will also be benign. The new lump may not be breast cancer, but it’s best to make sure.
