Olivia Newton John - take charge of your health and Liv

Actress Olivia Newton John is dedicated to breast cancer awareness. As a survivor of breast cancer, Olivia Newton John has spread her message and encouragement through www.liv.com, a breast cancer awareness web site that provides information on breast cancer screenings, types of cancer, lumps in breasts, and the signs or symptoms of breast cancer. 

The LIV campaign encourages breast cancer detection through regular mammograms, as well as monthly self-examinations for unusual lumps in the breast. Both methods used together are recommended. Breast tissue can be unique, and may be more swollen or tender during different times of a woman's menstrual cycle. It is important to know what is normal for your body in order to detect something unusual. Combined with regular medical breast examinations, this is the best way to help detect breast cancer in its earliest stages.

The LIV campaign is also on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-the-minute news and updates from Olivia Newton John. With thousands of Facebook and Twitter fans, there is a lot of support for breast cancer awareness through this campaign.

The LIV Aid is an early detection device used at home during self-examinations. The purple polyurethane heart is placed over the breast to assist in feeling unusual lumps. Move the heart-shaped device over the entire breast area with your hand to aid in early detection. The LIV Aid is an excellent tool for at-home use, and should be used in combination with regular medical screenings.
