You can do everything right and live the most healthiest lifestyle possible and still end up developing cancer.
Early detection is a must to get the highest chance of survival once diagnosed. As a woman, I'm only familiar with the types of tests I need, but if there are any questions or concerns (man or woman), please consult your physician right away!
First, every woman should get an annual exam done at every year. In addition, you should be doing monthly self-breast exams. Once you turn 40 (or earlier if there is a history of breast cancer in your family), you need to start getting mammograms. I'll be getting my first one this year.
