I'm sure
Jackie Collins' memory is being kept alive through her books, but this time,
I'll be using this memory in the name of health.
Breast
health is important (for both men and women), and remember you're never too old
or too young to get them checked out.
I had my
first breast check when I was 17 years old and I was then diagnosed with a
condition called fibro adenoma, which in simple terms means breast fibroids, so
I can't stress enough how important early detection is, because it certainly did save my life.
It's also
important to remember that in some cases, women themselves actually find the
lumps during self-examinations, so my advice to anyone reading this, (men and
women) is to get to know your breasts and if you notice any changes, please
talk to your partners and/or parents about it and go to the doctor immediately.
As Fran Drescher says: "Catch it on arrival, 95% survival."
