Breasts: I’m not sure about you but I have something of a love hate relationship with mine. I can look in the mirror one day and they are there and looking dandy, the next I feel quite differently about them.  During the month of October many of us turn our thoughts to our breasts, thanks to it being breast cancer awareness month. I wanted to tell you my personal story, and why I think self examines should be an important part of your healthcare routine.

There was a time some years ago that made me realize just how important my breasts actually, were to me. One day I noticed a small lump in my left breast. It wasn’t huge, but I knew it was a lump. My Hubby examined it as well, just to make sure I wasn’t imagining it, and he confirmed that there was a pea sized lump there. It was at that point, my life went into something of a tailspin.
