Girls, How often do you check your breasts?

Do you get them checked on a regular basis? Checked for breast cancer that is

[AnayaWilliams]

Every so often, I need to go to the gynecologist and get them checked because I'm kind of worried about them. I feel like they've stopped growing for some odd reason.

[AshleyMD]

Well you're 18, I would hope they're stopped growing.

[SuperMommie13]

Nowhere near as often as I should with my family history. I'm lucky to check them once a year.

[AshleyMD]

Never, and I plan to start, I will not die with the knowledge that I have cancer.
