My grandmother had a masectomy and my mother recently had to have a minor, invasive procedure. This disease has hit very close to home for me. I wasn't very good about checking myself, but my doctor let me know that, with my family history, it needs to be done. So, I've gotten a lot better about it.
And one another note:
Women's health is EXTEMELY important. To all of the beautiful, black women out there: please take care of yourselves. Get your yearly exams and do the checks monthly. I say this because one of my close friends may have cervical cancer. She is in her early twenties, never had an STD and in good health. But, she detected the abnormality early enough to do something about it.
