One of my favorite of Lewis' writings; during my darkest days as a Christian his raw honesty encouraged me more than anything, even (especially!) Bible pep talks.

Re: Should We Be Doing Breast Self-Examinations?

Hi Nikole
Sorry i didn't see your comment until just now! I can understand the reluctance to do BSE if you feel you need a medical degree to diagnose cancer. Try to think differently about it: the goal is to know your breasts so well that if something changes, you notice immediately. We don't need to know the difference between cancer and cysts--we just need to know the difference between normal and abnormal for our own breasts. Like i said, "Know your breasts like the back of your hands."

We are survivor sisters, for which I am sad and glad: kind of a cockeyed thing to say, but I emphasize the survivor part! I know many doctors continue to do clinical exams and recommend BSE to their patients. Hats off to you and your doc!

Good for you, Laura. I agree with your "better safe than sorry" attitude. Too many people regress into trusting children with doctors instead of taking charge of their bodies. That's a great philosophy for more than cancer prevention.

Laurie, you and@sakisaki6 have the right idea about making BSE as routine as flossing our teeth and shaving our legs. I think my new motto will be "Know your breasts like the back of your hands!"

Thanks for the celebration of my victory over cancer. Educating and equipping women like you adds to the joy! I do hope you will make it part of your health regime to know your breasts "like the back of your hand."

Looks sexy to me! I just wish they would fix the current version so:
it doesn't crash every day
it interfaces with Power Twitter
it interfaces with Roboform
Grrr.
