    I do yeah, I've had a few scares in the past so you can't be too careful.

    I know I should, but I'm far too forgetful.

    I play with my boobs a lot when I'm naked anyway, so I'd notice if there was a random lump there, but I don't do it the way you're "supposed" to.

    No not really. I can't say i'm too fussed about all that at my age.

    My doctor is too good looking to take away the fun of the visit by doing it myself regularly. The novelty might wear off.

    Why is your age a factor? You're still just as much at risk now as you will be in 20 years.

    Unless you wanna see Rich naked too, since that's the only time I'm really naked for long periods of time unless I'm showering, I don't really think you do :p.

    I check when I'm in the shower/getting dressed. Not every day... but fairly often.

    I also keep an eye on my moles just incase any of them change shape/size/colour etc...

    Then I think you're incredibly ignorant. You could have breast cancer and you wouldn't even know it until it was far too late. Do you want to have one, or both, of your boobs cut off?

    Lol can't say i've ever given cutting my tits off much thought. Can't imagine it's too pleasant though but yeah again not really fussed by it all. If i dies i dies.

    Wow. You ARE ignorant. Having cancer is not something to be so laid-back about. Dying of cancer can be incredibly painful and watching someone you care about go through something like that is absolutely heartbreaking. Hell, I was fucking...FOUR when my aunt died of cancer and I can still remember how much pain she was in and how much she suffered. I just hope you don't get cancer purely on the basis that I don't want your family and friends to have to go through the same pain that my family have, particularly my uncle whose wife recently contracted breast cancer, after he lost his sister to cancer 14 years ago.

    I pity you, I do. I pity your incredible ignorance.

    i dont check them that often as when I have, I find weird lumps and think omg i have cancer, and then the lump goes a few days later.
    If there was a real lump though that didnt go away, either me or nmm would notice it quick enough im sure.

    You pity me why? I'm not a fuckin idiot, i know what cancer is and i never said it wasn't anything other than tragic. I'm just not that fussed about it right now when it comes to me.

    :yes: I've seen serveral people recover from cancer and in some cases from being very very ill and its not nice. Especially for the family friends whose parents have both had cancer in the last five-six years.

    I do occasionaly check myself, but not on a regular basis.

    But why not? It's just as likely to happen to you as it is to anyone else, so why aren't you bothered by it?

    I believe the best time to give yourself a breast exam is a few days after your period, random, possibly made up tidbit for ya all.

    Everyone has different priorities and if someone doesnt check and doesnt care - well, thats their funeral!!

    Cant say I ever have done, dunno if I would want to know if I had anything or not !

    I wouldnt want to loose my hair or my tits and go through all that trauma for there to still be a strong chance of me having cancer !

    For the same reason that people ignore the risks of smoking - sometimes it's just a case of "won't happen to me", other times it's just that until confronted it's not going to get in thier mind too much....

    Yeah, I always check my Davina McCalls nowadays.

    There's a history of cancer in my family on both sides now, so better safe than sorry and all that.
