    Depending on your yearly mammogram is NOT enough!

    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"  <///><

    I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with cancer and such a scary episode at that...I just really don't know what to say about it...just I'm glad it seems you're going to be ok.I'm glad you was able to make it through and I'm sure many women other than myself will find your post most useful.

    God bless you overcomer.
