Just your personal Jiminy Cricket tellin' ya to get in and get checked!!



Some info on ways to detect breast cancer from the http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm site:

Ages 20-39:
Self exam - monthly
Clinical breast exam - at least every three years

Ages 40 and over:
Self exam - Monthly
Clinical breast exam - every year
Mammogram - every year

And while I'm at it... ladies - if you haven't made that lovely visit to your gynecologist lately - make sure you schedule your appointment. This needs to be an annual visit so if it's been over a year, get your butt in there! The best way to detect any kind of cancer or other problem is to catch it early.
