What a load of crap!! I think its important to check them, if anyone will notice anything different it will be yourself. I had the shock of finding a lump in my left boob, i was showering at my best friends, i quickly got out of the shower and told her, i started crying i was petrified! but i saw my doctor and it was just normal hormonal lumps that you get around that time of the month, but he said it was good i got it checked. I personally think that woman is an idiot for saying its a waste of time. We know our bodies better than anyone else.

Its also like saying that males shouldnt bother checking their balls for changes or lumps. My mums partner recently had chemo after finding a tumour in one of his testicles. He noticed a change but was too embarrassed to see a doctor but it was when my mum noticed they looked different (i know waaaaaaay too much information ) and made him see a doctor. If they had found it any later i dont want to think of what would have happened.

But we should be encouraging women to check themselves.
