I had 5 vials of my life sucked out of me today. I really do hate getting blood tests. Hmm...I wonder if any would look at iron deficiency. And I just realised they didn't ask me to pay the $45 I was expecting to. Cholesterol tests are only covered by medicare if you're 45 years old or older or if the doctor deems the test necessary. So I guess this week was annual checkup week for me. I think I lead a pretty healthy life, but something could be hiding. Who knows! One thing I don't do is self breast exams. I really should. I think I was having a really bad day yesterday because after my dance class, I felt a million times better. :D Next week is the last class of this session. Then there will be a one or two week break 'til the next set of classes. We're moving to a new venue, and they're looking into one that has decent parking and one where they'll let us wear boots! |

Have you ever heard of anybody preventing cancer after finding it in a self exam? It's not an effective way of preventing anything.

Finding a lump may not prevent cancer, but early detection would be a good thing, I think!

Yes, but an insignificant number of cancerous lumps are found that way. You have a much better chance of finding them through mammograms scheduled at the appropriate times.
If I thought it would do any good, I'd be the first in line to examine breasts. I'd even examine you for free (but you'd have to pay the airfare at least, and maybe feed me.) But I don't expect it would make any difference.

I didn't mean to skip mammograms all together!
