This App Could Save Your Life

posted in: HEALTH Tech

 

October is Breast Cancer awareness month, so it’s a good time to showcase this nifty app that reminds you to give your lumpy bits some regular TLC.

TLC stands for “Touch, Look, Check” and it really is as simple as that. Everybody is different and you don’t need special training, the tricky bit is to remember to do it often.

But the silver lining on that cloud is that the earlier you catch it, the better chance you have of beating it. Breast Cancer Now estimated that if everybody did their regular checks, it could save 1500 lives a year. That’s a high price to pay for forgetting to spend a measly few minutes on yourself.
