I think it's very important for every woman to do a monthly self breast exam.

Do you do your self exam every month?

Do you just do it once in awhile when you remember?

Do you not do it because you're not sure whether you're really feeling a lump or not?

Do you get your yearly mammogram on time?

I often check myselfe and i also go for my yearly mammogram.

My sister-in-law found a lump 2 years ago,she had to have her right breast removed because of cancer,she is now doing really great,she just celabrated her one year wedding anniversary and is very happy.

hmm, if my OB/gyn didn't bother to do a mammogram until I was 40, I would find another OB

Do you do your self exam every month? - Um.... no


Do you just do it once in awhile when you remember? - Yeah


Do you not do it because you're not sure whether you're really feeling a lump or not? - I don't avoid doing it because of that, but I do wonder sometimes if I'd feel a lump if it weren't really noticeable (and then too late to do much about)


Do you get your yearly mammogram on time? - Yes. Every year without fail - and my doctor checks "the girls" at my yearly check up/Pap test, too.
