Sitting at work thinking that this time 4 years ago I was having surgery for breast cancer. I was 1 of the lucky ones to have found it early and been clear since.
It only takes a couple minutes to check yourself every month so don't forget ladies    |

Very important to check
Great Post
And also important for guys to do similair checks on themselves (guys too can get forms of breast cancer and of course, guys check your balls guys for strange lumps) and get things checked by the doctor if needed
But don't do it right now wait till you are somewhere private as I don't think doing it in the office or train or bus or park or even tesco veg section is appreciated lol |

Yes agreed, men can get breast cancer too so should get checking themselves too (but not in Tesco lol) |

Good post.. Can I also add moles? I noticed my friend had a strange mole on her leg that looked different from her other moles (she was a redhead with very pale skin) - this mole was almost black - and advised her to get it checked. It was a melanoma.
Two and a half years on and she is fine thankfully. |

Definitely get anything checked that's suspicious even tho you're embarrassed to speak to your gp. It could save your life!
Hope you and your brothers are ok now |

As someone who’s mum and sister have both successfully beaten breast cancer I applauded your openness in highlighting the importance of regular checks.
There are so many indicators for all cancers the biggest killer is complacency.
