Hello, my name is Trisha. In September 2007, I decided to do a self breast exam, after seeing some information on TV. I was 38 and it had been a little while since I had last performed a self breast exam. I casually searched, not expecting to find a thing, but to my horror, I discovered a small nodule in my right breast and when I investigated further, my breast leaked some fluid. A visit to the doctor prompted a series of exams and a removal of the nodule.
Here is the truly amazing part! The cancer they found wasn't in the nodule it was in the tissue right next to the nodule. If they didn't go remove it, they would not have found the cancer until much later probably. KEEP DOING BREAST SELF EXAMS! It could save your life!
