<v Speaker 1>we want to get people to fill their boobs. Fell

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>your boobies, have a little squeeze around, feel if anything's

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>abnormal or feeling not right.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, listen to this.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Three thousand, three hundred Australians will die this year. Nine

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Australians die every day and fifty eight Australians are diagnosed

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>every single day.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Crazy.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 2>Those stats are astronomical. We're lucky enough to be speaking

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to Professor Sarah Lewis. Sarah is the Dean of Health

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Sciences at Western Sydney University.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 3>She's a career academic.

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>She's doing some incredible research around breast cancer.

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Sarah.

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 4>Welcome, Hi, Hi, good afternoon, guys.

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Hi Sarah.

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 5>Look, I think there's so much information out there for

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 5>people who know that we should check our breasts, like

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 5>check your breast, check your breast in the first of

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 5>the month. But what does that actually look like and

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.599
<v Speaker 5>for someone who maybe has never done it before, Like

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 5>how would someone conduct a self examination and know what

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 5>it is that they're feeling for.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Look, I think chief that day of your month understand

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 4>that your breaths are going to change a little bit

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 4>according to your hormonal cycle, and so choose a time

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 4>that's away from your period, and then just do a

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 4>few simple steps, use the palms, the fingertips and work

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>around in a sort of clockwise motion. Get a really

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.839
<v Speaker 4>good feel of what is your breast shape, size, lumps

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 4>and bumps, just a little bit different.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 3>I reckon, everyone's in their car right now, I hope

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>they are.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 4>But men do it in your car, sure, Look at

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 4>the person next to you. They're probably going around in

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 4>a seper motion to a really good A really good

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 4>thing to do is to do it in the mirror, because,

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 4>as you know, breaths are a mobile organ. They're on

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 4>the outside of us. Actually looking at the way in

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 4>which your breasts move, the shape, looking for skin textural

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 4>changes and things like that. Whilst doing yourself breast examination

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 4>in the mirror, You're then you're ticking all those boxes.

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 6>So, Sarah, how can you tell the difference between like

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 6>a normal fatty lump or a gland or something that

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 6>we all have, Because like when you feel your boobs

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 6>any day, you can feel like little lumps and bumps

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 6>in there. But how do you tell the difference, So,

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 6>for example, if you feel like a little pea or

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 6>something a bit harder, like, what are the actual characteristics

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 6>we're looking for.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, look, it's important to recognize that most breast cancers

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 4>are actually you know, they start off feeling small and

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 4>they're hard to feel, so you may not actually feel them.

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 4>I think you're quite right. In particular younger women, there

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 4>are lots of lumps and bumps there. What we're looking

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 4>for is things that have changed, So a new lump,

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 4>a thickening of the breast tissue in the case of

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 4>my own breast cancer, a skin discoloration like a permanent

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 4>bruise that won't go around go away, or anything that

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 4>actually changes the shape and size of your breast that

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 4>wasn't there before. That's when you need to be that

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 4>sort of breast to wear and then go and see

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 4>your health professional.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Is it something that men need to be conscious of

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 3>as well?

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 5>Because I know that we usually talk about it women

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 5>and women need to check their breast, but should men

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 5>be even wary of this?

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it something that men can can get.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Look, men have a really important role to play.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 4>A very small percentage of men that do you get

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 4>breast cancer. So they can also check their breasts in

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 4>a similar way to women understanding you know, obviously it's

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 4>a much smaller area that they're going to be checking,

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>but you know, changes in that general breast area. It's

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 4>also important to check your armpits and up to the

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 4>collarbone as well, because you'll be looking for changes in

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 4>those lymph nodes that's where they live. And for men actually,

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 4>I would also say they have an important role to

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 4>help with their partners and indeed noticing that perhaps your

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 4>partners has a change in their breast appearance.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I know the tag line is have you felt yours lately?

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not suggesting that you necessarily go and feel

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 4>someone else's.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Do it with us and.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 4>All eyes on. We're appropriate sometimes, you know, we need

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 4>to look after each other.

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.880
