I didn't even do a self exam.... the damn thing hung up on my bra when I was putting it on. That was on a Saturday. I saw my doctor on Monday, mammogram on Tuesday, Ultrasound and needle biopsy on Wednesday. I had had a physical with the doctor doing the exam 3 months prior. Was due for my yearly mammo the next month. That was almost 5 years ago. I am a survivor "dancing with NED" as we say here. I will continue to feel my boobies on a regular basis.

Love & hugs,
Marlys
