Please look at our free video showing one minute to examine one breast during a basic clinical breast examination (CBE).

Have had a breast exam that is as thorough as even this basic exam?

If you are seeing a doctor for your annual check up, you should receive an annual breast exam of each breast that is at least this thorough. Your examination may take longer; but it is unusual that a thorough CBE of both breasts can be done in less than 2 minutes.

Share this free video with your friends. Help them understand why this is important to them, too.

If you are receiving a shorter clinical breast exam, ask your doctor or nurse why they do it so quickly.

After all, it’s your body … and you can ask!

Help spread this message. A 2 Minute Breast Exam Timer can be purchased for yourself or sent to a friend to help her remember to ask for the 2 minutes for her annual clinical breast exam.

Ask your doctor to takea full 2 minutes
