Hi Anna,
I don't tend to do it deliberately or at any set time but I am aware when showering to be alert for any changes. In the past I have found a lump in my breast and went through hell for the time between finding it and getting the all clear. Actually it went away by itself the night before I was due to go into hospital to have it removed. It had already been decided that it was benign but it just went and I proceeded with going to hospital but told them that I thought it had gone, so they checked and it had.
Since then I've also had some strange pains in one breast which I had checked out and that was also normal. Apparently when a woman goes through the menopause one breast or the other will start developing pains.
I know it's scary and we're looking for something we really don't want to find but honestly even if someone finds a lump it will either turn out to be nothing or else it can be sorted the quicker something is found.
Well worth doing.
Owly x
