Your monthly breast exam is crucial. I just finished up 13 months of chemotherapy. I have had a double radical mastectomy and lumpectomy. I thought a mammogram was enough. I was up to date with my mammogram. As a matter of fact, I still had nearly 3 months remaining before I had to take another one....if I would have waited 3 more months I would not be here writing this post.
I took a shower one morning; dried off; sprayed on my deodorant, which I sprayed over-lapping onto my right breast. I reached up with my left hand to wipe it off...and then I felt it!
...That dreadful, sickly, change your life forever, LUMP! Within 9 months, I went from a normal, healthy mammogram... to stage 4 cancer, nearly stage 5. I never felt a pain. It was silent. I was large breasted, so it went undected by mere vision, SELF-EXAMS ARE CRUCIAL!
Please, do your self-exams.
God bless, "Overcomer" <///><
