I was really surprised to hear her say that on TV also!

What about those women who don't have a partner feeling their boobies regularly?????
(or what if the partner tends to focus on one side more ?)

I think the message should be to check your own body, everywhere, regularly. It's your body, you should be responsible for it! Not relying on the off chance that something becomes big enough to be noticed accidentally.

Marydean, I'm very sorry to hear that! My friend is waiting for her reconstruction surgery and I'm sure she would say just the same as you have. X
