Major Confusion on how to do breast checks

Since this blog contributors are mainly women, I thought this topic would peak some interest:

 "Two large studies looking at a total of more than 388,000 women found that death rates from breast cancer were the same among women who rigorously self-examined as those who did not, while there were almost twice the number of biospy operations in the self-examination group."

Basically the articles DO NOT advise a regular  breast self-examination, it may do more harm then good. Instead they state to get to know what is normal with your body and go from there.

I know we all have so much to read already but just take a look since this effects us as women.

For some reason I can't copy and past on this blog so I have to type out the address, if you guys are having problems let me know and I will try again.
