How often do you check your breasts?
According to Breast Cancer Now, a staggering 50%+ of UK women do not check their breast regularly for potential signs of breast cancer. Furthermore, 11% of women have reported never having checked their breasts.
According to a Gitnux 2024 report, 91% of women have masturbated at some point in their lives and 45% of women masturbate at least once a week.
How come woman are more likely to masturbate than check their breasts for cancer? This fact defies logic and intellect!
So why don't you press and prod your breasts?
Some treatments can cause an early menopause and you might have symptoms such as hot flushes and sweats. Talk to your GP, or nurse, on how to cope with these symptoms.
How do you want to be remembered?
Don't underestimated how impressionable your kids and grandkids are.
Which of the 2 images below, do you want them to remember you by?

Secondary breast cancer...
Secondary breast cancer is where a cancer that started in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, typically the liver, lungs, brain, or bones.
Be aware that when breast cancer is first diagnosed it may already have become a secondary cancer.
This type of cancer can't be cured and treatments mostly focus on pain management.
The most common areas breast cancer spreads to are the:
-
Bones
-
Lungs
-
Liver
-
Brain
Other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes in the chest, armpit or neck area, the skin or abdomen (belly), may also be affected.
The most important thing you can do is prod and press you breasts (and armpits, etc.) on a regular basis. Please don't ignore this and end up with secondary cancer.
