Ladies (and men tell the wives)
Please, please, please check your breasts regularly. Know your breasts and know when they change. Don't sit on any problems - get them checked. Don't go through what I went through!!!
Do it, do it now!
Also, check out BreastCancerCare.org.uk

One point though - men CAN get breast cancer too - I don't think its all that common, but it does happen. Also, men should be checking their dangly bits too.
Lets all get touchy feely together!!
Nessie, you're so right men (of all ages, not just the over 50s) need to check their giblets regularly. My friend also discovered prostate cancer thanks to a regular health check at BUPA.
No need to get paranoid, just be aware.

I'm a bit flat footed, and made sure I got a good pair of running shoes before starting running again a month ago. But I had a few tweaks, and after a 10k yesterday, the entire side underarch of one of my feet has slightly swollen up and is a bit painful to walk on.
Do I need to buy special insoles? Aren't they very expensive? Do I need to see a sports physio? This is soooooo frustrating, because my running has just started to go well! Advice would be appreciated....

Michelle -- I hope Steve is okay. Have you heard from the hospital..? Is he up and about yet..?
Steve is up and about thanks Cath and they are talking of discharging him over the weekend - they don't hang about do they! I'm gonna nip over on your other thread now Cath.

Have just been reading your thread on cancer awareness:And I totally agree with you:Every
one out their should all be checking their selves reguarly!!As in the past I have had a bit of a
scare:Lucky enough I had the lump removed from my breast:And it was clear.But to be honest
with you,I have not been checking myself recently:but after reading this I shall be checking myself
every day when I come out of the shower.
Hope everything goes alright with steve,michelle shall say a wee prayer for him:For a speedy recovery!!

Sharon -- good luck with the Oban race on Sunday!! Oh and breast awareness is good enough with a self exam every two weeks, so my nurse says but I agree with you, more can't harm can it!
Lots of Love, Michelle xxx

I just logged on tonight (it's actually yesterday now!) and came across your thread in staying healthy and I signed up because I just wanted to wish you well and say thanks for sharing your experience here.
On sunday I'm volunteering at the Manchester Stride for Life and two weeks later I'm striding the 10k myself. Stride for Life is CRuk BC Awareness fundraising. You put it in to perspective - I'll be thinking of you'
Take care of yourself
Manchester is at Heaton Park at @11am, theres one in Liverpool at Croxteth Park on the 13th and loads more.
Have a look in Novembers RW for details.
just think - you can get fit (or have an easy recovery day) and raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the same time!
(Not you Cath , you put your feet up!)
