I agreed that I would post about breast cancer today -- many people are doing so on their blogs. I haven't been blogging for a few months but this is important enough to bring me out of "retirement".
Mammograms save lives. If I hadn't had the one I did in May 2005, I likely would not be sitting here today, typing this message. Mine saved my life. And in May of this year I celebrated my 5th year clean...and I'm still counting.
Nothing could be felt with a manual exam because the tumour was too small at that stage..only 2 cms. That's my story...but monthly self exams are vital to being aware of what changes take place in your body.
Please remember to check your boobies regularly. Raise awareness and support the cause. You're worth it.

Hi Sherry: I just had another clear mammogram and reading your message reminded me how important it is to have an annual one for early detection. You are an inspiration!
