    Not doing it but I personally appreciate all who do - I am a survivor!!!!

    That's a future goal for me - one of these days I will do it!

    Thanks Chrissy. This is first time doing it for me. My grandmother is also a survivor and so it's very personal to me. I am VERY excited!

    Ladies out there Need I say it....do self checks, get your mammograms every year.

    I had my first mammogram (and last*) at age 34 after finding a lump from a self check - thank God I did....think about it this way...no family history so mammograms start at age 40...I had cancer at age 34 do you think I could have lived to 40 if I didn't find it????????????


    (*Last mammogram due to bilateral mastectomy - I have chest Xrays instead once a year--didn't want you to think I wasn't bothering)
