A close friend's sister got breast cancer at 26. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863529 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:05:08 +0000 LovelyPlum 863529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently started again, and it totally freaked me out!! I know I was only pregnant each time for a short while, but I swear, they feel.totally different than they used to! I had my annual in January, but I still may ask the next time I'm in. I just want to know what is "normal"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863521 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:01:54 +0000 Adira 863521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: haha, yeah! I don't do them, but I don't see how they could hurt, right?? Presumably if you do them often enough, you'll notice if something is off, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863479 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:44:44 +0000 .twist. 863479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... I usually wait until my yearly physical and then my GP does it. haha I really should start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863475 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:43:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 863475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I always wondered about that - I mean, how the heck are we supposed to know what's normal and not? It all feels lumpy to me. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863357 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:58:10 +0000 Adira 863357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. The last time I had them checked when I got a pap, my doctor told me doing them at home won't really help since most women don't know what they're looking for. Not sure if I believe her or not, but I've never been good about doing them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863331 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:51:27 +0000 DillonLion 863331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not specifically, but I breastfeed so I am constantly handling my breasts and feeling them every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863328 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:51:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 863328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I should. *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-your-monthly-breast-exams#post-863324 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:50:13 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 863324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been good at doing my monthly breast exams. But, since my grandmother has breast cancer, I decided to start. I have to say they feel so much different after breastfeeding that I don't know what is normal - haha. </p>
