When was your last neck check? Has it been over a month? If so, you are due.
Among women, no other types of cancer are increasing faster than thyroid cancer. The goal is early detection and a large number of those lucky enough to catch it early catch it during their neck check. We know that self-exams save lives. You know your body better than anyone and you will be the first to know if something changes.
Product Recommendation: Nodule Control has been clinically proven to slow the rate of nodule growth, reduce the size of existing thyroid nodules and lower the risk of nodules progressing to thyroid cancer. Click Here
People who detect thyroid cancer early say that the neck check is the best 3 minutes they’ve spent.
Any adult who has thyroid issues.
If you’re already in the habit of doing self-breast exams once per month, you might find it easy to do your Neck Check during the same session. Together they should take no more than five minutes.
Get a hand mirror and a glass of water ready. Make sure your clothes are not in the way of your neck – no turtlenecks.
Most people won’t feel their thyroid, and that’s normal. What you will feel in this area is skin, muscle, and connective tissue. If your thyroid is enlarged or has nodules, you might feel it.
The first few times, you won’t. But your sense of touch has memory. The more regularly you do the neck check, the better you’ll be able to notice if something is different. Talk to your doctor if you feel anything that seems out of place in this area. Let them know you just did your first neck check and want reassurance. A good doctor will be glad you’re taking your health seriously.
Good job!
