Greetings [$fname],

I would like to take this time to thank our many patients who have been listening to our weekly radio show, Knowledge is Power, on KPHX 1480 every Saturday from noon to 1:00 pm. I have enjoyed your many questions and comments, and look forward to the very interesting weeks ahead!

A few weeks ago, Diane Bourget, our Clinical Coordinator, joined me to discuss the importance of doing monthly Breast Self-Exams. There has been much discussion in the press recently about whether we need to take the time to do this exam. And I want all my patients to know, that - YES - it is still as important, if not more than it used to be, to continue to do these exams monthly. You know your breasts better than anyone!

In order to assist you with remembering to do your exams, we are sending our monthly "Love Note" because we care about you and your breast health. If you have any questions on the proper way to do a Breast Self-Exam, please click here for a step-by-step approach to completing the exam.

If you have not had a chance to listen to my radio show, I will be joined this Saturday, November 22, by Dr. Bryan Gawley, a plastic surgeon in the Valley, who specializes in breast reconstruction. We will be opening the phone lines, so feel free to call with questions - 602-258-8800.

Best regards,

Belinda Barclay-White, MD
