Feel It On The First

I discovered a movement to encourage women (and men) to check themselves monthly called “Feel it on the first.” It’s an easy way to remember on the first of every month to do a self-examination, and I’ve taken to doing it myself and reminded those around me. 

Since I was the one who discovered my own lump, I’m even more adamant about making sure we look for changes. It’s important to know what your normal is, because everyone is different, and to be able to recognize changes. So here are some tips. Please take them seriously and do your self-exams regularly. Put it on your calendar for the first of every month.
