Re: Good Advice?
Must be something about showers or bath tubs here. I found mine in the bath tub. I had just had a breast exam done my my GP a week before and he did not report feeling anything. He did the little circular motions that they show you to do. I felt my lump by running my hand straight down and around my breast. I have always had lumpy breasts and never thought I would be able to feel anything but this little lump jumped out at me, that and it hurt (they say cancer doesn't hurt either). Later my breast surgeon said that they are now saying that you should indeed exam yourself in this manner but was surprised I could detect a lump that small by myself. What that study says is pure BS if you ask me and it is steering many women in the wrong direction..sherryg683
