Every 14 seconds, around the world, a woman is told, "You have breast cancer." But the Know Your Lemons Foundation has done something remarkable to save lives: by creating a free app that is designed to improve early detection for you and those you love. Here’s how it works:
After you download the app, customize it to your preferences, including your language, geography, and your sex - because breast cancer can happen to anyone. You can also set up an optional period tracker that doesn’t collect your data.
Learn how to self-exam the right way by learning the 12 symptoms to look and feel for with our engaging audio and animated guides. Whether it’s a breast or chest check, you’ll be walked through each step. It also includes instructions for anyone who’s had a mastectomy, or top surgery. To help you stay on track, the app will nudge you with monthly reminders. These can be set for the first day of the month, or linked to your menstrual cycle to remind you at a time when your breasts are less impacted by hormonal changes.
And if you notice a change, the app guides you on what steps to take and what to say to your doctor so you can get the answers you need and know your options for testing.
The next step is to check you are getting the screening you need. By answering a set of questions that review your personal risk factors, the app will work out a customized plan for you to show your doctor so you can decide together when to start mammograms, how often to do them, and if genetic testing or additional screening tools should be added.
When you do need screening, the app has great tips and advice so you can feel prepared before each test. It can set annual appointment reminders and, if you’re in the USA, you can even book your mammogram directly through the app, and see how to access free mammograms if you are not insured.
You can also get access to exclusive benefits and tools if your employer is part of the incredible Know Your Lemons at Work program. Just click on the lemonade and enter the password given by your company to unlock these workplace benefits to improve screening rates at work and with your loved ones too.
And for those who are newly diagnosed, they can request a Dandelion Toolkit that helps patients and their families to better understand their treatment options, communicate with healthcare providers, and explain their diagnosis to loved ones.
The award-winning Know Your Lemons app has already saved many lives - it may just be the most important app you will ever have on your phone. Download it today or share with someone you care about. And if you’re interested in the workplace program benefits, visit knowyourlemons.org/atwork
