Bet that caught your attention

I made an appointment for a breast exam, I go on Wednesday (tomorrow).

I’m so excited!

NOT!

But I found an ‘odd’ bump/lump, and seeing as I have a husband and five children whom I believe would miss me if I were no longer here, I’m going to get it checked out, and I was NOT going to waste any time doing so.

That’s actually kind of a miracle for me. I’ve been dealing with pain in my left shoulder for 5 years now, finally went to the dr about it 3 years ago and never went back to let him know, “nothing’s changed, I still can’t raise my arm without pain!”

I’ve had a ‘cyst’ (non-harmful) needing to be removed for oh…. about 7 years now.

I was in HORRIBLE minute by minute pain in my right arm/shoulder/elbow for about 3 weeks recently.

And all these times I never made an appointment.

However, when it comes to something like a lump in my breast, I’m NOT putting it off.

How about you? Have you done a self exam recently? If you don’t know how, I found a site that might help. http://www.breastselfexam.ca/

 

If you have, and found something even a tiny bit ‘odd’, did you call and make that appointment? Did you go see your doctor?

If not, what are you waiting for? Call NOW and get your breast checked!

Believe you me, I know it’s not going to be fun! I’ve never had a mammogram, I’m scared of it! I JUST turned 40! I’m too young for this worry!

However, I’m more scared of NOT doing anything.

So hop to it and join me! I’m being brave and bold about this & sharing what I’m doing because I don’t want YOU to be scared!

Take care of those breasts! Let’s take care of US for those we love, and who love us. And for ourselves too!
