Today is The Second Of The Month; and Ladies It's A Good Idea to always do a breast self-examination on the Second Of The Month. This is done lying down, exploring/probing gently for lumps or changes or painful spots all around that area and also under the arms and neck around the lymph nodes. Right here on go2net.com homepage, look for MediConsult Health on the left, go into that site, and scroll for breast cancer in subjects for self-exam instructions and also for much other helpful information. A monthly self-exam and a yearly mammogram along with a yearly PAP test/gynecology exam is paramount to watching one's health. The statistics are high for this disease in women; and the cure rate is also high when it is diagnosed early enough and treatment initiated. Blue Snowshoe has always posted this reminder and this month he asked me to take over; I suspect he's testing me to make sure I really am on autopilot with it as I promised. I doubt if anyone reading this doesn't know someone they love who has gone through it. The statistics are 1 out of 9 women will battle it. No one healthy likes to talk about sickness, I know...and no one likes to go to the doctor, I know...but we're all adults so let's think of those we love and who love us if we don't want to think of ourselves. To put this monthly self-exam on the Second Of The Month and the Yearly Full-On Physical on Autopilot from now on is one of the best things we can do for those who love us.
