Is that okay?
| Sun, 08-24-2003 - 3:29pm |
I am only 20 and have been getting yearly exams since 17. My doctor is great, but he always says he doesn't have to do a breast exam on me because I am "awfully young" This is super fine by me. The less contact the better, but I was just making sure that was okay. Thanks.

Now if you're like me and don't know family history due to adoption (or other reasons), then that is something to discuss with your doc. I knew no family history until finding my birth mother several years ago - and found out that I have a very high incidence of breast cancer in my family history. My docs and I take it very seriously now, and may not have had I not found her. So in some situations, it may pay to be extra vigilant.
