We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic. No question is off-limits.

I have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. What does that mean for me?

A family history of breast or ovarian cancer is important. It may mean you need to start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Dupuy can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

I'm thinking about getting pregnant. What should I do to prepare?

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step. A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Dupuy can help optimize your health by discussing lifestyle factors, starting folic acid, reviewing any medications, and considering genetic carrier screening.

How do I perform a breast self-exam, and how often should I do it?

The goal of a breast self-exam is breast self-awareness—knowing what's normal for your body. Perform a self-exam monthly to recognize any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Dupuy and mammograms.
