Abstract
A device for facilitating breast self-examinations in order to speed up detection of breast cancer. The device includes an information panel, preferably manufactured from a waterproof acrylic material. Instructions for conducting self-examinations and diagrams for recording the results thereof are included on the information panel. Recording means, such as a grease pencil, are also included, as is a calendar for tracking the dates of the self-examinations. Alternatively, transparent overlays may be employed for recording the results of each self-examination separately and comparing the results of subsequent examinations to one another.
