check your bits time

[AnonyMouse_1469]

Some while ago, I was diagnosed with, then successfully treated for breast cancer. I made a promise to ask you all ( men too!) to 'check your bits' on the 23rd ofSeptember. But, it occurs to me that some of you will check things at particular times of the month, rather than a day that suits me

So, please, mark a day on your calendar, whichever one suits you.................... and check those boobs.............men too ( yes, men CAN get breast cancer).................and men, please check those dangly bits/testicles.......whatever you choose to call them........

 

I am 8 years beyond diagnosis and currently well. Please do the check, if not fr you, then for those you love. xx

Thanks Narnia,

For those with sons teach them while they are young, testicular cancer is very prevalent in14-25yr olds.

Our son is now 10 years on and 9 years clear.. so glad we discussed it with him as he was growing up..

I got a letter in the post today -appointment for 'boob squash' that week!

that made me laugh - i had my mammogram last year - was asked "would you mind our trainee to do yours?"

no problem i thought - everyone has to learn - all i can say is a very big "ouchhhhhhh" and think she needs a lot more practice!!!!!!!

all clear though so

Yep, I went for boob squashing last week. I have to say I don't find it painful at all, just a bit uncomfortable when the do the 'sideways' one.

 

Thanks for the reminder Narnia - it comes round quickly!

Good tip : if you're going for your 'boob squash'.....................take a couple of paracetamol an hour before you go in x

As a Mum to 17 and 15 year boys, I ashamed to say that I have never thought about the need to get them to check themselves. I will have that conversation later. Thank you for the prompt and glad your son is OK Inge. narnia thank you for the reminder and glad you are in good health.
