Check out your girls

Okay, I know this isn’t breast cancer awareness month, but it is my birthday month.  So I decided it was time to give myself a present.  I’ve gone a few too many years without getting a mammogram…not intelligent in any case, but particularly in my case since my mother had breast cancer.  I kept my appointment yesterday (the appointment that my doctor was pretty insistent that I make..she’s a tough one), got the results today.  Everything good with the girls…

So…ladies…if you’ve been putting it off…give yourself a gift, make that appointment now…
