Just wanted to mention that breast self exams are NOT currently recommended by any major medical society. I know watching sports events (thinking more NFL than NCAA gymnastics here) would convince you otherwise, but FYI. It’s still a good cause and all, that’s just not what is being supported.

If I do nothing else in life I made Uncle Tim say, \”I have had boobs for 26 years\”!

And when I realized he was reading my email, I got so excited, I accidentally smacked myself in the face while trying to gesture to my husband. And then he continued…..from boobs to butt.
