Get Your Breast Exam! Now!

I have great boobs. I cannot tell a lie. For 38, they’re perky and perfect. They make the young boys wild.

So here’s my story. Last week a wonderfully charming 50-something nurse practitioner felt me up. Found a lump. Not just any lump. That sucker is 5 cm by 6 cm (2-inches!). My perkiness is just a handful – 2 inches is half that handful.

Here’s the lesson – gals examine yourself! How did something half the size of my bodacious bod get there without me knowing? So if you don’t want to do it, ask your man or woman to do it for you. The Internet provides great resources, click here for a self-examination guide or do a search. My advice is to also palpate towards your chest. My lump is in the plane of my chest as if I had no boobs at all. It is directly behind the nipple and cannot be felt at all unless my arm is above my head AND I am lying down.


And now for the kudos! Susan G. Komen. Just a week ago ago I was told to go in for complete diagnostic testing. And already I qualified for funding provided through the Susan G. Komen Foundation for such testing. For more information about the Komen Foundation click here. There are other valuable resources, information, and organizations for this cause.

And for those that want, in the words of Paul Harvey, the rest of the story…I will upload the results over the few weeks as the tests are completed and evaluated. If you have any questions, email or call me.

I will be marvelous! And anyway, pink is one of my favorite colors!

Many, many thanks to Bobbe. You are so special the world is a better place with you it.
