Monthly bse's? *pfft*

Julie,

Have you found a lump or something?  Were you diagnosed and concerned? After I was diagnosed and after my surgery, I did go through a period of where I was checking ny good breast more than normally, and finally talked to a fellow co-worker who was also a bc survivor. She told me that if you check too often, you could miss a change. It didn't make sense to me at the time, but since I've moved on, it does. (I'm back to once a month).  Then she convided that she went nuts with be's also. I guess it's normal.

Someone else will come along soon and give you sounder advice.

LOL!  I'm also on a "daily dose of bse"!  Up until 2 weeks ago, I never even bothered to check them...Just a : "once over, okay fine, lumpy breasts anyway so nothing's changed etc"..whenever there was a Breast Cancer Awareness drive or something.

Till GP sent me for the mammo and U/S...now I just seem to be more "aware" of the lumpaties bumpaties then before - and I just feel I have to get to know them better...So I check in with them every evening

Check this scene for instance : My sis is a VERY private person and never even walks around in her pj's...So, last night I went over, stripped to the waist, took off bra, lifted my arms above my head and said to her : "lyk iets miskien snaaks vir jou" (do you see anything strange/funny)

You should have seen the look she gave me!  Anyway, she did say my left breast looks slightly swollen...and now I wish she hadn't!

Georgie Girl, LOL my sister is private also, and after my lumpectomy I know i drove her crazy showing my new smaller boobie

After my doctor had me feel the first lump he found, turned out to be a cyst, I was constantly checking to see if the lump disappeared. I did eventually go back to (more than previously) monthly exams not hourly.
