We should be doing this anyway but the news of Kylie made me think again about breast cancer. So please, all go and check your boobs and then post here to say you've done it and keep the thread going so we all see it and all do it.
I don't want anything happening to one of you and if it does catch it early.

Can you lot please also all check you dp/dh's tonight. Men dont hink they can suffer. They like to think they are invincible. Also when you've done that give them a treat and check their testicles too.

Kidstrack2 · 17/05/2005 20:46

I did it. I had to go to the breast clinic a few months back and had a mammogram a few years ago (clear though) Kylie's my age so it really hit home. My friends took the p* because I cried for her but I wasn't just crying for her iykwim?

Ulysees · 17/05/2005 23:11

fastasleep · 18/05/2005 10:16

I did it but god knows why as they change every other day with being pregnant and they're often lumpy and milky!

bonym · 18/05/2005 10:17

Am currently waiting for a scan appointment as have had a lump in my armpit for 8 weeks - am checking every morning to see if it's still there.

almostanangel · 18/05/2005 15:15

trinityrocks · 18/05/2005 15:45

flum · 18/05/2005 15:46

ok, but thats dps job, will get him on the case tonight

Louise1980 · 18/05/2005 15:50

Trinity I was just told nothing to be imediatly concerned about. Think its different rules depending on which hospital you go to? I dont want to worry un-neccissarily(sp) but want to prepare myself it there could be anything.

natts · 18/05/2005 15:54

Im very over weight and my boobs are pretty huge. whenever i check them they are full of lumps and i asume fatty tissue how do i feel throught t
he fat and decide whats a lump and what normal. sorry i now thats thick but i'm 32 and have never felt confident i would notice if i had a lump.

Done - Isn't it awful that it takes something like this to prod some of us (me) into doing these things. I'm always full of good intentions then forget but that's it done now.
