I am really disturbed about the recent news stating women should not be taught to do self exams.
I will be cancer free five years in January. If I had not done the self exam, I wouldn't have found the lump and I probably wouldn't be here today.
A mammogram once a year and self exams monthly are the way to go. I can't believe they are recommending mammograms every two years. This is not supporting early detection and saving lives.
I hope the recent news is not influenced by insurance companies or doctors working for insurance companies.
Ladies, please continue your monthly self exams.
