Ok, there seems to be a slack movement upon us.
Have you hugged your girls today? Come on, you know you should.

I think this is a good idea. It helps to keep track of monthly changes. I can better determine what is a sore type lump due to being close to my period. It goes away.
I think if you check once at the same time each month, you may not know the difference.

My cousin had a car accident about 18 months ago. Her only injuries were those inflicted by the seat belt, and one breast was especially bruised and painful. She was nursing her painful breast and felt a lump. Assuming it was related to the accident she wasn't overly worried, but did go to her doctor about a week later.
Yes, you guessed it. It was breast cancer, but she had not been checking her breasts, so had no idea how long that lump had been there. It was surgically removed but it obviously wasn't a new growth, as she had lymph involvement as well. When she was at the doctor's 2 days ago she mentioned that her other breast was sore. The doctor examined the breast and found 2 small lumps. I could not believe it when she phoned me yesterday and told me that the doctor had found them. She hadn't even known they were there because she hadn't been checking her breasts! I was flabberghasted. You'd have thought that SBE would have been on her agenda every month without fail. I'll let you know the outcome after she's seen the specialist.

I have fibrocystic breast so I am always massaging them because they hurt. It's true that I notice lumps that are cystic more by doing this because they come and go. I would be aware of one that doesn't go away. I have two on each side that are watched carefully every year that haven't gone away. The good news is they haven't grown. The bad news is they can so feeling them each day keeps me aware of changes.
Koala, sorry about your cousin.

Thanks for the reminder Sandy.
I've got a bit complacent lately and with my history of cancer in other areas, complacency is one thing I cannot afford. So.... little girls checked? Tick
