Breast Cancer Awareness Month

At Bangor Plastic and Hand Surgery, Dr. Branch and Dr. Schaffer are dedicated to supporting the fight against breast cancer. This month, we stand with the survivors, fighters, and families touched by this disease.

Early detection saves lives

Regular self-exams are one of the simplest and most effective ways to catch any unusual changes early. We encourage all women to take a few minutes each month for a self-check. If you notice any changes, don’t wait—schedule a consultation with your healthcare provider.

Let’s raise awareness, support research, and continue the fight for a cure. Together, we can make a difference.
