A monthly breast self-exam is another tool women have in conjunction with annual mammograms to find cancers early and improve survival rates. You use your hands and eyes to detect any changes in the look and feel of your breasts. Not a replacement for annual mammograms, it is still valuable to be familiar with the normal consistencies of your breast. When cancer is detected early, the chances of survival are much improved. Let us go through how to perform a monthly breast exam.
We have exciting news to share with our patients and community! On June 1, Augusta & Waterville Women’s Care staff will join MaineGeneral Obstetrics & Gynecology as members of that growing practice.
Joining MaineGeneral builds on our strong collaboration over the years and strengthens access to high-quality, patient-centered OB/GYN care and services for years to come for the women and families of the Kennebec Valley.
We remain at the Alfond Center for Health in Augusta, and starting June 1, will see patients in Waterville at the Thayer Center for Health. Patients can expect a letter in the mail soon with more information and how to reach MaineGeneral OB/GYN.
We’re looking forward to serving this wonderful community as part of MaineGeneral, and are working to make sure this is a smooth transition for our patients
