An explanation...

Why Foob? I had a double mastectomy, and at the time, the plastic surgeon put "expanders" under the muscles in my chest. Every 2-3 weeks, they were filled with more saline, in preparation for my reconstructive surgery. They were very full and hard. Uncomfortable. One time, one of my sons gave me a hug and then said "Your foobs are hard!" Hee, hee, hee! My kids have this endearing habit of combining words. So, "Foobs" are fake boobs. Which I will still have, even after the reconstruction.

Foob Babe - that would be me!

Get into the habit once a month. It could save your life!

Breast cancer sucks. You DON'T want to find out how much.

    I never checked my breasts and I was so incredably "lucky" to find my tumour (over an inch) because it was at the edge near the breast bone and I found it by accident. My advice to anyone is to keep vigilant and get everything checked out straight away.

    I didn't check mine either. We just happened across the tumors when a biopsy was done to get rid of some suspected DCIS. Great advice to everyone about keeping vigilant.
