So we all see the signs about Boobie month - Happy Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I know we all talk about how they ("our girls") are shrinking with weight loss....

I just had to share my Friday morning moment. Got to the office, went to kitchen to cut my apple and get my yogurt. As I am walking, I look down at my feet. And what do I notice, my stomach is not the first thing ... nope, it's my boobs. It really made me laugh - my boobs are now bigger than my stomach. YEAH!!!

My 78 year old mother is a 16 year survivor of breast cancer. I was 38 when she was diagnosed, and had her mastectomy and chemo treatments. She lost her husband and her mother that very same year. She is my ultimate hero!

I've gotten a yearly mammogram ever since. You owe it to yourself to have it done.

I need some advice in this arena I've had a few great aunts and a few aunts get cancer one of which was breast cancer and my father's sister had uterin cancer I'm 24 what would be a good age to start mammograms

@skepchick- if the history is there, talk to an OBGYN and see what their recommendation is. My mother had ovarian and grandmother had breast. I started Mammos at 35.
