I can't stress how important it is to check your breasts regularly. Honestly, I rarely did before, but one day I found a lump. In January my doctor's said my tumor was 1cm. One month later when I had my mastectomy it had grown to 1.7cm and there were two other tumors that were .2 and .3cm. Catching it early when it was stage 1 saved my life.

Below is one of the best self-exam videos I've seen. It was made by an Argentinian Breast Cancer charity to demonstrate the regular checks women should be doing while skirting censorship of women's breasts by social media. If you are in a relationship, have your partner help you. Men can get breast cancer, too. Please be sure to check yourself once a month.
