In April 2022, Clea Shearer ― co-founder of the popular organization company The Home Edit ― announced that she had breast cancer. The diagnosis came after she discovered a lump in her breast and called multiple doctors to go in for a mammogram as soon as possible.

Stories like Shearer’s highlight the value of familiarizing yourself with what is normal and abnormal for your breasts.
