WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1997 – Hundreds of World Wide Web sites offer information about breast health issues, including how to conduct a self-examination.
The easiest way to locate these sites is to perform a search from a web browser. If you don't have a personal computer to use, many libraries have computers you can use to log onto the Internet. Once logged onto a browser, search for "health" or "women's health" for broad categories, or specifically for "breast cancer." Or use a search engine such as Yahoo! or Alta Vista and look under the health index. Here are a few web addresses you may find helpful: - Yahoo!'s index to breast care sites -- http://www.yahoo.com/Health/Diseases_and_Conditions/Breast_Cancer/Breast_Self_Exam/
- An illustrated, step-by-step guide to the self-exam -- http://www.saintfrancis.com/7step.html
