My excuse is that you have to do them 7-10 days after your period and I always forget to count. I also tell myself that I'm 28 and not really at a high risk yet. Not great excuses, but they're the ones I'm using. Hopefully seeing your monthly reminder will remind me (if the timing's right, that it).<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised that 25% of men die from breast cancer. I mean, it's harder to catch in women because a small lump would be hard to see through the normal breast tissue. I would have guessed that a man would be more easily able to notice an unusual lump on their flat chests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
