Daily Showering Tip (4/6/05)...

Doctors recommend that women check themselves for breast cancer at least once a month. It is best to do this in the shower because the water and soap provide a slippery skin surface, which makes lump detection easier. Simply make quarter-sized circles with one or two fingers over all areas of the breast, including the armpits. If you feel a particularly large lump, this may not be a cyst. It could just be that giant 600cc saline implant you had installed 3 months ago in order to compensate for your poor body image and overall feelings of inadequacy in this male-dominated society.
