breast self exams
 

Since it is october, breast cancer awareness month, and i'ma big believer of the pink ribbon, given my family history.. just a friendly reminder to do those self exams... (guys, if you're reading, remind your ladies to do the same thing)

not sure how?

This link is one of the best i've seen, if you're on dial-up it might be a little slow, but it's informative and gives you just the facts in video format.


How to do a breast self exam

Thank you for caring enough to post this very informative video here for us to brush up on proper self exams. :)

Thanks Mal! I was just talking to a friend about needing to look this up, now I don't have to!

My Dr (till she left the practice) gave me a breast exam every year and the last time I went in they told me that unless I have a family history or personal history of breast cancer that I do not need to do an exam anymore. That they are recommending it differently. They said they had too many false alarms before. Personally I'd rather have a false alarm 5 times and catch it once than not catch it at all or catch it 6 mo too late.

i'm shaking my head at your doctor...

a woman should do a self exam every month.. you know your breasts better than anyone... you will notice a change in your breasts...
