Breast Cancer Awareness

It's getting to be about that time. I am older now and have to worry about serious health issues such as breast cancer. I have been getting PAP smears for a few years now but still felt too young for a mammogram. So I tried self-examination but it's quite tricky! The areas you have to examine are kind of lumpy and grainy anyway so I have no idea how you're supposed to be able to tell the difference between normal and uh-oh. The page I created the link to above helped me to figure out how so I hope it helps other women as well. We can never be too sure it won't happen to us and self-examination is a great way to detect abnormalities early on. Pass it on.
