I had a very recent scare, and required me to have a punch biopsy. I was lucky that all was ok and it was just fibrous tissue. I now have to have a mamogram every year. The lump was almost in my armpit. I had been doing the monthly self-checks, and never checked that high. Now I know that I need to further up. It was 3 weeks of hell. First I had to see the surgeon for the consult, then I had to wait to have the biopsy (can't be done same day) then waiting for the results was horrible. The mass in my breast was too solid for the mamogram to show clearly. It was a very scary time, I'm glad it's over. I will be more aware from now on, and I will make sure to teach my daughter how to properly check herself when she develops breasts.

Glad you were OK, tat2, and that's a good point - breast tissue extends A LOT further than most of us think.

For those that aren't sure, check that vid I posted - it's a good'un.

When are you supposed to begin getting mamograms? I've never had one!

Once a year from 40 is standard in most 'western' countries. I'm 36 and I've not had one yet either. My doc wants me to go for one later this year because I told her my mum had a lumpectomy a few years back.

I'm no lady, but I'm calling 'foul' here: how can it be unhealthy to check? It's not like you're performing unnecessary surgery here. I've lost a few family members to breast cancer and, frankly, the stigma of it being 'naughty' is what kept them away from regular self checks.

Maybe I'm off in left field here, but thoughts from the other ladies?

... Cap's doctor told him long time ago that he should check his scrotum every so often, preferably in a warm shower with soap. So Cap said maybe we could check each other, you know, objectively. The objective part lasted one minute and 12 seconds.

Nothing wrong with a little 'objectivity' in the shower I always say. :biggrin1:

Well, what he said was that I was becoming OCD about it, and honestly, I was probably going overboard. He got very concerned that maybe I found something and wouldn't tell him. Nope, just checking.

As for the shower part... ok, that's all I'm going to say about that.

How can I be bored when I have boobs to play with?

Besides... how long do you think that took? Typing 'boobies' once, pasting it 37 times, adding a few full stops and hitting preview a few times isn't that much of a time killer.

When was the last time you checked yours?

Monday morning in the shower

Do you know how to check them properly?

Thankfully yes

Did a doctor show you? Or a relative/friend? Or did you learn from another source? Or were you never shown?

Doctor but also my lecturer at uni

How often do you check?

Once a fortnight

Did you know that you should try to check them at the same time of your cycle each month?

Yes but i don't have a cycle anymore hence my checking once a fortnight

Does your partner ever check your breasts or help you remember?

He does infact he's more worried than me

Did you know you men can get breast cancer too?

Yep!
