Bet that caught your attention<\/p>\n

I made an appointment for a breast exam, I go on Wednesday (tomorrow).<\/p>\n

I’m so excited!<\/p>\n

NOT!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!”<\/p>\n

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

I was in HORRIBLE minute by minute pain in my right arm\/shoulder\/elbow for about 3 weeks recently.<\/p>\n

And all these times I never made an appointment.<\/p>\n

However, when it comes to something like a lump in my breast, I’m NOT putting it off.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How about you?<\/strong> Have you done a self exam recently? If you don’t know how, I found a site that might help.\u00a0http:\/\/www.breastselfexam.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

If not, what are you waiting for? Call NOW<\/strong> and get your breast checked!<\/p>\n

Believe you me, I know it’s not going to be fun! I’ve never had a\u00a0mammogram, I’m scared of it! I JUST turned 40! I’m too young for this worry!<\/p>\n

However, I’m more scared of NOT doing anything.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

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!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take care of those breasts! Let’s take care of US for those we love, and who love us. And for ourselves too!<\/p>\n
